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).

-
A.
Lorentz contraction
chosen
Lorentz contraction is the special relativistic effect in which an object’s length along the direction of motion appears shortened to observers in a different inertial frame moving at high relative velocity.
-
B.
Lorentz
Lorentz is a Dutch surname most famously associated with physicist Hendrik Lorentz, a pioneer of electromagnetic theory and relativity.
-
C.
Tolman–Ehrenfest effect
The Tolman–Ehrenfest effect is a relativistic thermodynamic phenomenon stating that, in a system at thermal equilibrium within a gravitational field, temperature varies with gravitational potential so that hotter regions occur deeper in the gravitational well.
-
D.
Lorentz ether theory
Lorentz ether theory is a pre-relativistic physical theory that introduced length contraction and time dilation to explain electromagnetic phenomena in a stationary ether, forming a key precursor to Einstein’s special relativity.
-
E.
Lorentz transformation
The Lorentz transformation is a set of equations in special relativity that relate space and time coordinates between two inertial reference frames moving at a constant velocity relative to each other, ensuring the constancy of the speed of light.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
