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: surface-wave magnitude scale | Statement: [moment magnitude scale, comparedWith, surface-wave magnitude scale]

Target entity: surface-wave magnitude scale Context triple: [moment magnitude scale, comparedWith, surface-wave magnitude scale]
-
A.
moment magnitude scale
The moment magnitude scale is a modern logarithmic measure of earthquake size that estimates the total energy released, providing more accurate and consistent results than older magnitude scales for large events.
-
B.
Richter magnitude scale
The Richter magnitude scale is a logarithmic scale used to quantify the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake based on instrumental measurements.
-
C.
Rayleigh waves
Rayleigh waves are a type of surface seismic wave that travel along the ground with a rolling motion, causing both vertical and horizontal ground displacement.
-
D.
Modified Mercalli intensity scale
The Modified Mercalli intensity scale is a seismic scale that qualitatively measures the observed effects and damage of an earthquake on people, structures, and the Earth's surface.
-
E.
Wood–Anderson torsion seismometer
The Wood–Anderson torsion seismometer is an early 20th-century mechanical seismograph designed to measure local earthquake ground motion with high sensitivity, forming the instrumental basis for the original Richter magnitude scale.
- 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
Entity: surface-wave magnitude scale Triple: [moment magnitude scale, comparedWith, surface-wave magnitude scale]
