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).

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: “Spinodal Decomposition”
Context triple: [John Werner Cahn, notableWork, “Spinodal Decomposition”]
  • A. Ostwald ripening
    Ostwald ripening is a process in materials science where larger particles grow at the expense of smaller ones due to differences in solubility or chemical potential, leading to coarsening of the system over time.
  • B. Mullins–Sekerka instability
    The Mullins–Sekerka instability is a morphological instability that occurs during diffusion-limited solidification or crystal growth, leading to pattern formation such as dendrites at moving phase boundaries.
  • C. Becker–Döring theory of nucleation
    The Becker–Döring theory of nucleation is a classical kinetic model in statistical physics that describes how clusters of particles grow or shrink through the successive addition or loss of single monomers, providing a fundamental framework for understanding phase transitions and nucleation rates.
  • D. Cahn–Hilliard equation
    The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that models phase separation and coarsening in binary mixtures and other systems undergoing spinodal decomposition.
  • E. Landau–Peierls instability
    Landau–Peierls instability is a theoretical prediction in condensed matter physics that shows how long-wavelength thermal fluctuations destroy true long-range positional order in low-dimensional crystalline systems.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NED2 Entity disambiguation (via description) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: “Spinodal Decomposition”
Target entity description: “Spinodal Decomposition” is a seminal work in materials science that introduced and developed the theory describing how certain mixtures spontaneously separate into distinct phases through continuous composition fluctuations rather than nucleation.
  • A. Ostwald ripening
    Ostwald ripening is a process in materials science where larger particles grow at the expense of smaller ones due to differences in solubility or chemical potential, leading to coarsening of the system over time.

  • F. None of above.

Provenance (2 batches)

The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
