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: Debye length | Statement: [Peter Debye, knownFor, Debye length]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Debye length
Context triple: [Peter Debye, knownFor, Debye length]
  • A. Compton wavelength
    The Compton wavelength is a fundamental quantum-mechanical length scale associated with a particle, characterizing the wavelength of a photon whose scattering off that particle produces significant relativistic and quantum effects.
  • B. Bohr radius
    The Bohr radius is a fundamental physical constant that represents the most probable distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
  • C. Lorentz–Lorenz equation
    The Lorentz–Lorenz equation is a fundamental relation in optics and electromagnetism that connects a material’s refractive index to its molecular polarizability and density.
  • D. Nernst–Planck equation
    The Nernst–Planck equation is a fundamental relation in electrochemistry that describes the flux of charged species under the combined influence of diffusion, electric fields, and, in extended forms, convection.
  • E. Langmuir Probe
    The Langmuir Probe is a scientific instrument used in space missions to measure the density, temperature, and other properties of plasma or charged particles in the surrounding environment.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
