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: method of moments | Statement: [Karl Pearson, notableWork, method of moments]

-
A.
method of least squares
The method of least squares is a fundamental mathematical technique for estimating unknown parameters by minimizing the sum of squared differences between observed and predicted values, widely used in statistics, data fitting, and regression analysis.
-
B.
Laplace method
The Laplace method is an asymptotic technique in mathematical analysis used to approximate integrals, especially those dominated by contributions near a maximum point of the integrand.
-
C.
Darwin–Fowler method
The Darwin–Fowler method is a statistical mechanics technique that uses complex analysis and generating functions to derive distribution laws for systems of many particles.
-
D.
Milstein method
The Milstein method is a numerical scheme for solving stochastic differential equations that improves on the Euler–Maruyama method by including derivative terms of the diffusion coefficient for higher accuracy.

NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"
Input
Entity: method of moments Triple: [Karl Pearson, notableWork, method of moments]
