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

gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: RC4 stream cipher Context triple: [Ronald L. Rivest, coInventorOf, RC4 stream cipher]
-
A.
RC4 stream cipher
chosen
The RC4 stream cipher is a once-widely used symmetric key algorithm known for its simplicity and speed in software, but now considered insecure due to multiple discovered vulnerabilities.
-
B.
RC2
RC2 is a symmetric-key block cipher designed by cryptographer Ronald L. Rivest and widely used in early Internet security applications.
-
C.
Salsa20
Salsa20 is a high-speed stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein, widely used in modern cryptography for its strong security and efficient software performance.
-
D.
Spritz cipher
Spritz cipher is a modern stream cipher and hash function designed by Ronald Rivest and Jacob Schuldt as a more secure and flexible successor to RC4.
-
E.
AES-CTR
AES-CTR is a widely used symmetric-key encryption mode that turns the AES block cipher into a fast, parallelizable stream cipher by encrypting successive counter values and XORing them with the plaintext.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 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.
