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: Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts | Statement: [Dennis Gabor, notableWork, Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts]

Target entity: Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts
Context triple: [Dennis Gabor, notableWork, Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts]
  • A. Zernike phase-contrast method
    The Zernike phase-contrast method is a microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through transparent specimens into intensity differences, enabling detailed visualization of living cells and other unstained samples.
  • B. Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory
    Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory is a more rigorous scalar diffraction formulation that corrects limitations in Kirchhoff’s approach by using boundary conditions consistent with the wave equation.
  • C. Kirchhoff diffraction theory
    Kirchhoff diffraction theory is a classical wave optics framework that models light propagation and diffraction by treating wavefronts as superpositions of secondary spherical waves emitted from an aperture.
  • D. Fourier optics
    Fourier optics is a branch of optics that uses Fourier transform methods to analyze and design optical systems, particularly the propagation and diffraction of light waves.
  • E. Fresnel diffraction theory
    Fresnel diffraction theory is a wave-optics framework that describes how light diffracts when source or observation distances are finite, using near-field approximations derived from the Huygens–Fresnel principle.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
