NER Named-entity recognition gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input
Phrase: NURBS | Statement: [B-splines, hasSubtype, NURBS]

Target entity: NURBS
Context triple: [B-splines, hasSubtype, NURBS]
  • A. Catmull–Rom spline
    The Catmull–Rom spline is a type of interpolating spline commonly used in computer graphics and animation to create smooth curves that pass through a given set of control points.
  • B. B-splines
    B-splines are piecewise polynomial functions widely used in computer graphics and numerical analysis to create smooth, flexible curves and surfaces controlled by a set of control points.
  • C. Bezier curves
    Bézier curves are mathematically defined parametric curves widely used in computer graphics and digital design to model smooth, scalable shapes and paths.
  • D. Isogeometric Analysis: Toward Integration of CAD and FEA
    "Isogeometric Analysis: Toward Integration of CAD and FEA" is a seminal book that introduces and develops the isogeometric analysis framework, unifying computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA) for more accurate and efficient engineering simulations.
  • E. Anti-Grain Geometry
    Anti-Grain Geometry is a high-quality, open-source, platform-independent 2D graphics rendering engine known for its sub-pixel accuracy and anti-aliasing capabilities.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
