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: Mueller matrix | Statement: [Stokes parameters, relatedTo, Mueller matrix]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Mueller matrix
Context triple: [Stokes parameters, relatedTo, Mueller matrix]
  • A. Stokes parameters
    Stokes parameters are a set of values that quantitatively describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation, widely used in optics and remote sensing.
  • B. Fourier optics
    Fourier optics is a branch of optics that uses Fourier transform methods to analyze and design optical systems, particularly the propagation and diffraction of light waves.
  • C. Kramers–Kronig relations
    The Kramers–Kronig relations are fundamental mathematical formulas in physics that connect the real and imaginary parts of a complex response function, expressing how causality constrains the frequency-dependent behavior of physical systems.
  • D. Bloch equations
    The Bloch equations are a set of differential equations in nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum mechanics that describe the time evolution of nuclear magnetization in an external magnetic field.
  • E. Fresnel equations
    The Fresnel equations are fundamental formulas in optics that describe how light is partially reflected and transmitted at the boundary between two media with different refractive indices, depending on polarization and angle of incidence.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
