Rayleigh–Taylor instability
Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which the interface between two fluids of different densities becomes unstable when the lighter fluid pushes against the heavier one, leading to complex mixing patterns.

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).

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: Rayleigh–Taylor instability Triple: [Lord Rayleigh, knownFor, Rayleigh–Taylor instability]
Generated description
Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which the interface between two fluids of different densities becomes unstable when the lighter fluid pushes against the heavier one, leading to complex mixing patterns.
