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: de Sitter precession
Context triple: [Willem de Sitter, hasConceptNamedAfter, de Sitter precession]
  • A. Tolman–Ehrenfest effect
    The Tolman–Ehrenfest effect is a relativistic thermodynamic phenomenon stating that, in a system at thermal equilibrium within a gravitational field, temperature varies with gravitational potential so that hotter regions occur deeper in the gravitational well.
  • B. Larmor precession
    Larmor precession is the precession of the magnetic moments of charged particles or nuclei in an external magnetic field at a characteristic angular frequency proportional to the field strength.
  • C. Schwarzschild–Milne equations
    The Schwarzschild–Milne equations are fundamental integro-differential equations in radiative transfer theory that describe the propagation and scattering of radiation through a plane-parallel, absorbing and emitting medium.
  • D. Kerr metric
    The Kerr metric is the exact general relativity solution describing the spacetime geometry around a rotating, uncharged black hole.
  • E. Gravity Probe B experiment
    Gravity Probe B experiment was a NASA-led satellite mission designed to precisely measure how Earth's gravity warps space and time, providing a high-accuracy test of key predictions of Einstein's general relativity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
