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: Rayleigh–Taylor instability | Statement: [Lord Rayleigh, knownFor, Rayleigh–Taylor instability]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Rayleigh–Taylor instability
Context triple: [Lord Rayleigh, knownFor, Rayleigh–Taylor instability]
  • A. Saffman–Taylor instability
    The Saffman–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a less viscous fluid penetrating a more viscous one in a confined geometry leads to finger-like interfacial patterns, often called viscous fingering.
  • B. Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability
    The Chandrasekhar–Friedman–Schutz instability is a gravitational-radiation-driven instability in rotating stars that can cause certain oscillation modes to grow by emitting gravitational waves.
  • C. Callahan flow
    Callahan flow is a notable basaltic lava flow associated with Medicine Lake Volcano in northern California, formed during one of its relatively recent volcanic eruptions.
  • D. Saffman
    Saffman is a surname most notably associated with Philip G. Saffman, a prominent British-American applied mathematician and fluid dynamicist.
  • E. Stratified Flows
    Stratified Flows is a seminal work in fluid mechanics that analyzes the behavior and stability of fluids with density variations, particularly in geophysical and environmental contexts.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
