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: Quantum Mechanics: A Beginner’s Guide | Statement: [Jim Al-Khalili, notableWork, Quantum Mechanics: A Beginner’s Guide]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Quantum Mechanics: A Beginner’s Guide
Context triple: [Jim Al-Khalili, notableWork, Quantum Mechanics: A Beginner’s Guide]
  • A. "Advanced Quantum Mechanics"
    "Advanced Quantum Mechanics" is a graduate-level physics textbook by Jun John Sakurai that provides a rigorous, modern treatment of quantum theory, emphasizing formalism, symmetry principles, and applications to particle and field physics.
  • B. Elementary Wave Mechanics (book)
    "Elementary Wave Mechanics" is a foundational textbook on quantum mechanics authored by theoretical physicist Walter Heitler, known for its clear treatment of wave-mechanical principles.
  • C. Feynman Lectures on Physics
    Feynman Lectures on Physics is a renowned three-volume introductory physics textbook based on Richard Feynman’s legendary Caltech lectures, celebrated for its clarity, depth, and engaging style.
  • D. Born rule in quantum mechanics
    The Born rule in quantum mechanics is the fundamental postulate that connects a system’s wavefunction to experimentally observed probabilities by stating that measurement outcomes occur with probabilities given by the squared magnitude of the wavefunction’s amplitudes.
  • E. Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
    Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is John von Neumann’s landmark 1932 treatise that rigorously formulates quantum theory using functional analysis and operator theory on Hilbert spaces.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
