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

-
A.
Boltzmann distribution
The Boltzmann distribution is a fundamental probability distribution in statistical mechanics that describes how particles or states are populated over different energy levels at thermal equilibrium.
-
B.
Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics
Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics is a classical statistical framework in physics that describes the distribution of speeds or energies among distinguishable, non-quantum particles in thermal equilibrium.
-
C.
Boltzmann constant
The Boltzmann constant is a fundamental physical constant that links temperature to energy at the particle level, playing a central role in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
-
D.
Sackur–Tetrode equation
The Sackur–Tetrode equation is a fundamental formula in statistical mechanics that gives the absolute entropy of an ideal monatomic gas in terms of its volume, temperature, and particle number.
-
E.
Boltzmann equation
The Boltzmann equation is a fundamental kinetic theory equation that describes the statistical behavior and time evolution of a dilute gas or particle distribution in phase space due to streaming and collisions.

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]"
