Description generation (PDg)
The one-sentence description above was generated by prompting gpt-5.1 with the predicate name and this instruction.
Instruction
Given a predicate that represents a relationship or action between entities, generate a one-sentence description explaining its meaning. # Instructions Focus on describing the relationship, not the entities themselves. # Response Format Begin the description with \' Indicates...\'
Input
Predicate: approximates
Generated description
Indicates that one entity is close to, but not exactly equal to, the value, form, or behavior of another entity.
