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

Target entity: Condon–Shortley phase
Context triple: [Edward Condon, knownFor, Condon–Shortley phase]
  • A. Condon approximation
    The Condon approximation is a simplifying assumption in molecular spectroscopy that treats electronic transition dipole moments as independent of nuclear coordinates, enabling easier calculation of vibronic transition intensities.
  • B. Longuet-Higgins
    Longuet-Higgins is the surname of a notable British family that includes influential figures in theoretical chemistry, cognitive science, and mathematics.
  • C. Euler’s formula for complex exponentials
    Euler’s formula for complex exponentials is the fundamental identity \(e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta\), which links complex exponentials with trigonometric functions and underpins much of complex analysis and engineering mathematics.
  • D. Huang–Rhys factor
    The Huang–Rhys factor is a dimensionless parameter in solid-state and molecular spectroscopy that quantifies the strength of electron–phonon (vibronic) coupling during electronic transitions.
  • E. Huygens–Fresnel principle
    The Huygens–Fresnel principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics that explains how every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets whose interference determines the wave’s subsequent propagation and diffraction.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
