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: Bloch waves | Statement: [Felix Bloch, notableWork, Bloch waves]

Target entity: Bloch waves Context triple: [Felix Bloch, notableWork, Bloch waves]
-
A.
Brillouin zone
The Brillouin zone is the fundamental region of reciprocal space in a crystal lattice, defining the allowed wavevectors for electrons and underpinning the structure of electronic band diagrams.
-
B.
Hertzian waves
Hertzian waves are early experimentally demonstrated electromagnetic waves that confirmed James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism and paved the way for modern radio communication.
-
C.
Anderson localization
Anderson localization is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which disorder in a material causes electrons or waves to become spatially localized, preventing them from diffusing freely.
-
D.
Peierls substitution
Peierls substitution is a quantum mechanical method for incorporating the effects of an external electromagnetic field into the momentum of charged particles in lattice or solid-state systems.
-
E.
Quantum Theory of Solids
Quantum Theory of Solids is a foundational physics text that systematically applies quantum mechanics to explain the electronic, thermal, and structural properties of crystalline solids.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
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]"
