Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

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: TCP slow start algorithm | Statement: [Van Jacobson, developed, TCP slow start algorithm]

Target entity: TCP slow start algorithm
Context triple: [Van Jacobson, developed, TCP slow start algorithm]
  • A. CoDel
    CoDel (Controlled Delay) is an active queue management algorithm designed to control network bufferbloat by keeping packet queuing delays low without requiring manual tuning.
  • B. Simulation-based comparisons of Tahoe, Reno, and SACK TCP
    "Simulation-based Comparisons of Tahoe, Reno, and SACK TCP" is a widely cited research paper in computer networking that evaluates and contrasts the performance of different TCP variants using simulation.
  • C. Random Early Detection
    Random Early Detection is a congestion avoidance mechanism for packet-switched networks that probabilistically drops packets before a queue becomes full to signal and control incipient congestion.
  • D. TCP Extensions for Long-Delay Paths
    "TCP Extensions for Long-Delay Paths" is an early Internet standards document (RFC 1072) that proposes enhancements to the Transmission Control Protocol to improve performance over networks with large bandwidth-delay products, such as satellite links.
  • E. Explicit Congestion Experienced
    Explicit Congestion Experienced (ECE) is a TCP/IP header flag used in Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to indicate that network congestion has been detected without dropping packets.
  • 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
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

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.
