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: Helmholtz equation | Statement: [Kirchhoff diffraction theory, relatesTo, Helmholtz equation]

-
A.
Laplace equation
The Laplace equation is a fundamental second-order partial differential equation widely used in physics and engineering to describe steady-state phenomena such as electrostatics, gravitation, and heat conduction.
-
B.
Klein–Gordon equation
The Klein–Gordon equation is a relativistic wave equation that describes spin-0 (scalar) particles in quantum field theory.
-
C.
Hertzian waves
Hertzian waves are early experimentally demonstrated electromagnetic waves that confirmed James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism and paved the way for modern radio communication.
-
D.
Huygens–Fresnel principle
The Huygens–Fresnel principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics that explains how every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets whose interference determines the wave’s subsequent propagation and diffraction.
-
E.
Schrödinger equation
The Schrödinger equation is the fundamental equation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics that governs how the quantum state of a physical system evolves over time.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
