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).

A.
Dennard scaling
chosen
Dennard scaling is a principle in microelectronics stating that as transistors shrink, their power density stays constant, allowing higher clock speeds and more transistors per chip without increasing overall power consumption.
-
B.
“Cramming more components onto integrated circuits”
“Cramming more components onto integrated circuits” is the landmark 1965 article by Gordon E. Moore that introduced the observation later known as Moore’s Law, predicting the exponential growth of transistor density on integrated circuits.
-
C.
Lilienfeld field-effect transistor concept
The Lilienfeld field-effect transistor concept is an early theoretical design for a voltage-controlled semiconductor device that anticipated the modern field-effect transistor decades before it became practical.
-
D.
Plenty of Room at the Bottom
"Plenty of Room at the Bottom" is a famous 1959 lecture by physicist Richard Feynman that is widely regarded as a foundational vision for the field of nanotechnology.
-
E.
International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors
The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors was a collaborative industry effort that forecasted and coordinated global semiconductor technology development, guiding research and manufacturing priorities for chip scaling and performance.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 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.
