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: fine-structure constant | Statement: [ħ, relatedConcept, fine-structure constant]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: fine-structure constant
Context triple: [ħ, relatedConcept, fine-structure constant]
  • A. Fermi constant
    The Fermi constant is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the strength of the weak nuclear force in processes such as beta decay.
  • B. Rydberg constant
    The Rydberg constant is a fundamental physical constant that characterizes the limiting value of the highest wavenumber (or lowest wavelength) of any photon that can be emitted from the hydrogen atom, playing a key role in atomic spectroscopy and quantum theory.
  • C. Planck constant
    The Planck constant is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the relationship between the energy of a photon and the frequency of its associated electromagnetic wave, forming a cornerstone of quantum mechanics.
  • D. Compton wavelength
    The Compton wavelength is a fundamental quantum-mechanical length scale associated with a particle, characterizing the wavelength of a photon whose scattering off that particle produces significant relativistic and quantum effects.
  • E. Planck units
    Planck units are a system of natural units in physics where fundamental constants like the speed of light, gravitational constant, and Planck constant are normalized to 1, providing a scale-free framework for describing physical laws.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
