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: Wigner distribution function | Statement: [Eugene Wigner, knownFor, Wigner distribution function]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Wigner distribution function
Context triple: [Eugene Wigner, knownFor, Wigner distribution function]
  • A. Fokker–Planck equation
    The Fokker–Planck equation is a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of the probability density function of a stochastic (random) process, such as Brownian motion.
  • B. Wick’s theorem
    Wick’s theorem is a fundamental result in quantum field theory that expresses time-ordered products of field operators as sums of normal-ordered products with all possible contractions, forming the basis for deriving Feynman rules and diagrammatic expansions.
  • C. Fourier analysis
    Fourier analysis is a mathematical method for decomposing functions or signals into sums of sinusoidal components, widely used in fields such as signal processing, physics, and engineering.
  • D. Fourier
    Fourier is a French surname most famously associated with Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier, the mathematician and physicist known for developing Fourier analysis and Fourier series.
  • E. Fresnel diffraction theory
    Fresnel diffraction theory is a wave-optics framework that describes how light diffracts when source or observation distances are finite, using near-field approximations derived from the Huygens–Fresnel principle.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
