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

-
A.
Stokes–Einstein relation
The Stokes–Einstein relation is a fundamental equation in statistical physics that links the diffusion coefficient of a particle in a fluid to its size, the fluid’s viscosity, and temperature.
-
B.
Stokes flow
Stokes flow is a type of fluid motion dominated by viscous forces and characterized by very low Reynolds numbers, where inertial effects are negligible.
-
C.
On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in Liquids at Rest Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat
"On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in Liquids at Rest Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat" is Albert Einstein’s 1905 paper that provided a theoretical explanation of Brownian motion, offering strong evidence for the existence of atoms and molecules.
-
D.
Newtonian fluids
Newtonian fluids are idealized fluids whose viscosity remains constant regardless of the applied shear rate, leading to a linear relationship between shear stress and strain rate.
-
E.
Lorentz–Lorenz equation
The Lorentz–Lorenz equation is a fundamental relation in optics and electromagnetism that connects a material’s refractive index to its molecular polarizability and density.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"
Input
