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: optical theorem | Statement: [Kramers–Heisenberg dispersion formula, relatedTo, optical theorem]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: optical theorem
Context triple: [Kramers–Heisenberg dispersion formula, relatedTo, optical theorem]
  • A. Poynting theorem
    The Poynting theorem is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that expresses the conservation of electromagnetic energy by relating the flow of energy, energy density, and work done on charges.
  • B. Etherington reciprocity theorem
    The Etherington reciprocity theorem is a fundamental result in relativistic cosmology that links luminosity distance and angular diameter distance, underpinning observational tests of the expanding universe.
  • C. An Introduction to the Theory of Optics
    An Introduction to the Theory of Optics is a classic physics textbook that systematically presents the fundamental principles and mathematical treatment of optical phenomena.
  • D. 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.
  • E. Huygens–Fresnel principle
    The Huygens–Fresnel principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics that explains how every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets whose interference determines the wave’s subsequent propagation and diffraction.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
