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: Weierstrass function | Statement: [Karl Weierstrass, notableFor, Weierstrass function]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Weierstrass function
Context triple: [Karl Weierstrass, notableFor, Weierstrass function]
  • A. Über die Darstellbarkeit einer Funktion durch eine trigonometrische Reihe
    Über die Darstellbarkeit einer Funktion durch eine trigonometrische Reihe is Bernhard Riemann’s seminal 1854 paper that laid foundational ideas for Fourier series and modern real analysis, including the concept now known as the Riemann integral.
  • B. Riemann zeta function
    The Riemann zeta function is a complex-valued function central to analytic number theory, whose properties—especially the distribution of its zeros—are deeply connected to the distribution of prime numbers.
  • C. Riemann–Siegel formula
    The Riemann–Siegel formula is an asymptotic expression that efficiently approximates the Riemann zeta function on the critical line, playing a key role in the numerical study of its zeros.
  • D. Gauss’s constant
    Gauss’s constant is a mathematical constant arising in number theory and complex analysis, particularly in connection with the lemniscate and elliptic functions.
  • E. Riemann–Liouville integral
    The Riemann–Liouville integral is a fundamental operator in fractional calculus that generalizes the concept of an n-fold repeated integral to non-integer (fractional) orders.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
