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: Hele–Shaw cell | Statement: [Saffman–Taylor instability, occursIn, Hele–Shaw cell]

Target entity: Hele–Shaw cell Context triple: [Saffman–Taylor instability, occursIn, Hele–Shaw cell]
-
A.
Saffman–Taylor instability
The Saffman–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a less viscous fluid penetrating a more viscous one in a confined geometry leads to finger-like interfacial patterns, often called viscous fingering.
-
B.
Taylor–Couette flow
Taylor–Couette flow is the fluid motion that arises between two concentric, independently rotating cylinders, notable for its rich pattern of instabilities and vortical structures that are fundamental in fluid dynamics research.
-
C.
Rayleigh–Bénard convection
Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a horizontal fluid layer heated from below develops organized convection cells due to buoyancy-driven instability.
-
D.
Callahan flow
Callahan flow is a notable basaltic lava flow associated with Medicine Lake Volcano in northern California, formed during one of its relatively recent volcanic eruptions.
-
E.
Stokes flow
Stokes flow is a type of fluid motion dominated by viscous forces and characterized by very low Reynolds numbers, where inertial effects are negligible.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"

Provenance (5 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.
