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: time crystals | Statement: [Frank Wilczek, knownFor, time crystals]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: time crystals
Context triple: [Frank Wilczek, knownFor, time crystals]
  • A. Super-many-time theory of quantum mechanics
    The Super-many-time theory of quantum mechanics is a relativistic generalization of quantum mechanics that introduces multiple time variables to consistently describe interacting quantum fields in different reference frames.
  • B. Kac ring model
    The Kac ring model is a simplified mathematical model in statistical mechanics introduced by Mark Kac to illustrate how macroscopic irreversibility can emerge from time-reversible microscopic dynamics.
  • C. Wigner crystal
    A Wigner crystal is an ordered lattice of electrons that forms in low-density systems when their mutual Coulomb repulsion dominates over kinetic energy, leading to a crystalline arrangement of charge.
  • D. Surprises in Theoretical Physics
    Surprises in Theoretical Physics is a collection of insightful essays by physicist Rudolf Peierls that explores unexpected results and conceptual twists in modern theoretical physics.
  • E. Time Vaults
    Time Vaults are heavily secured chambers on Gallifrey used by the Time Lords to imprison or safeguard dangerous temporal artifacts, entities, and secrets.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
