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

-
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.

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]"
