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: Stokes number | Statement: [George Gabriel Stokes, hasHonorNamedAfter, Stokes number]

-
A.
Knudsen number
The Knudsen number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics that compares a gas’s molecular mean free path to a characteristic physical length scale, indicating whether continuum or rarefied flow models are appropriate.
-
B.
Reynolds number
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics that characterizes the flow regime of a fluid, indicating whether it is laminar or turbulent based on the ratio of inertial to viscous forces.
-
C.
Stokes
Stokes is a surname most famously associated with George Gabriel Stokes, a 19th-century Irish mathematician and physicist known for his foundational work in fluid dynamics and optics.
-
D.
Stokes' law
Stokes' law is a fundamental equation in fluid dynamics that describes the drag force experienced by small spherical particles moving slowly through a viscous fluid.
-
E.
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.
- 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]"
Input
Entity: Stokes number Triple: [George Gabriel Stokes, hasHonorNamedAfter, Stokes number]
Generated description
