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

B.
relativity of simultaneity
Relativity of simultaneity is the special relativity principle that events judged simultaneous in one inertial frame may occur at different times in another moving frame, showing that simultaneity is not absolute.

Einstein's annus mirabilis papers
Einstein's annus mirabilis papers are a set of groundbreaking 1905 scientific works by Albert Einstein that revolutionized physics by introducing special relativity, explaining the photoelectric effect, providing evidence for atoms, and reshaping concepts of space, time, and energy.

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]"
