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

Target entity: Tyndall effect
Context triple: [John Tyndall, knownFor, Tyndall effect]
  • A. Rayleigh scattering
    Rayleigh scattering is the physical phenomenon in which light or other electromagnetic radiation is elastically scattered by particles much smaller than its wavelength, explaining effects such as the blue color of the daytime sky.
  • B. Raman effect
    The Raman effect is a spectroscopic phenomenon in which light scattered by a material undergoes a change in wavelength due to interactions with the material’s molecular vibrations, providing a powerful tool for chemical and structural analysis.
  • C. Poisson spot
    Poisson spot is a bright point of light that appears at the center of the shadow of a circular object due to wave diffraction, providing striking evidence for the wave nature of light.
  • D. Kapitza–Dirac effect
    The Kapitza–Dirac effect is a quantum phenomenon in which a beam of particles, such as electrons or atoms, is diffracted by a standing wave of light, demonstrating the wave-particle duality of matter.
  • E. Stokes shift
    Stokes shift is a phenomenon in spectroscopy where the wavelength of emitted light is longer (lower energy) than that of the absorbed light, commonly observed in fluorescence and phosphorescence.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
