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: Mullins–Sekerka instability | Statement: [Saffman–Taylor instability, relatedTo, Mullins–Sekerka instability]

Target entity: Mullins–Sekerka instability
Context triple: [Saffman–Taylor instability, relatedTo, Mullins–Sekerka instability]
  • A. 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.
  • B. Cahn–Hilliard equation
    The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that models phase separation and coarsening in binary mixtures and other systems undergoing spinodal decomposition.
  • C. 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.
  • D. Landau–Peierls instability
    Landau–Peierls instability is a theoretical prediction in condensed matter physics that shows how long-wavelength thermal fluctuations destroy true long-range positional order in low-dimensional crystalline systems.
  • E. Smoluchowski coagulation equation
    The Smoluchowski coagulation equation is a fundamental integro-differential equation in statistical physics that models how particles undergoing random collisions aggregate over time into larger clusters.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
