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: Silk damping in the cosmic microwave background | Statement: [Joseph Silk, knownFor, Silk damping in the cosmic microwave background]

Context triple: [Joseph Silk, knownFor, Silk damping in the cosmic microwave background]
  • A. The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe
    The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe is a foundational cosmology book by James Peebles that systematically develops the theory and observations of how matter is distributed on the largest cosmic scales.
  • B. Planck 2013 results
    Planck 2013 results is the first major cosmological data release from the Planck mission, providing high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background that refined key parameters of the standard model of cosmology.
  • C. Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis
    The Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis is a NASA astrophysics data repository dedicated to preserving and providing access to observations and analysis tools related to the cosmic microwave background.
  • D. Gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations
    Gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations is a foundational 1980 paper by James M. Bardeen that formulated a gauge-invariant approach to cosmological perturbation theory, introducing what are now known as the Bardeen potentials.
  • E. Sachs–Wolfe effect
    The Sachs–Wolfe effect is a cosmological phenomenon in which gravitational potential fluctuations imprint temperature anisotropies on the cosmic microwave background radiation, especially on large angular scales.
