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: Whittle likelihood | Statement: [Peter Whittle, knownFor, Whittle likelihood]

Target entity: Whittle likelihood
Context triple: [Peter Whittle, knownFor, Whittle likelihood]
  • A. Bayesian Occam factor
    The Bayesian Occam factor is a term in Bayesian model comparison that automatically penalizes overly complex models by integrating over their larger parameter spaces, thereby implementing Occam’s razor in probabilistic inference.
  • B. Gibbs sampling
    Gibbs sampling is a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm that generates samples from complex multivariate probability distributions by iteratively sampling each variable from its conditional distribution given the others.
  • C. Dirichlet process models
    Dirichlet process models are a class of Bayesian nonparametric models that allow flexible, potentially infinite mixture modeling without fixing the number of components in advance.
  • D. Stick-breaking construction for the Indian buffet process
    "Stick-breaking construction for the Indian buffet process" is a research paper by Yee-Whye Teh that introduces a stick-breaking representation for the Indian buffet process, providing a constructive and interpretable way to model infinite latent feature allocations in Bayesian nonparametrics.
  • E. Viterbi algorithm
    The Viterbi algorithm is a dynamic programming method used to find the most likely sequence of hidden states in probabilistic models such as Hidden Markov Models, widely applied in fields like digital communications, speech recognition, and bioinformatics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg Description generation gpt-5.1
Instruction

Provenance (5 batches)

The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
