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: Langmuir circulation | Statement: [Irving Langmuir, knownFor, Langmuir circulation]

Target entity: Langmuir circulation Context triple: [Irving Langmuir, knownFor, Langmuir circulation]
-
A.
Ekman layer
The Ekman layer is the thin region of fluid near a boundary (such as the ocean surface or seafloor) where the balance between friction and the Coriolis effect causes the flow to spiral with depth.
-
B.
Ekman transport
Ekman transport is an oceanographic process in which wind-driven surface waters move at an angle to the wind direction due to the Coriolis effect, causing net water transport perpendicular to the wind.
-
C.
Rossby waves
Rossby waves are large-scale atmospheric and oceanic waves driven by Earth's rotation and the variation of the Coriolis effect with latitude, playing a key role in shaping global weather and climate patterns.
-
D.
Rayleigh–Taylor instability
Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which the interface between two fluids of different densities becomes unstable when the lighter fluid pushes against the heavier one, leading to complex mixing patterns.
-
E.
Saffman–Taylor instability
The Saffman–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a less viscous fluid penetrating a more viscous one in a confined geometry leads to finger-like interfacial patterns, often called viscous fingering.
- 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: Langmuir circulation Triple: [Irving Langmuir, knownFor, Langmuir circulation]
