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: Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures | Statement: [Léon Brillouin, notableWork, Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures]

Target entity: Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures Context triple: [Léon Brillouin, notableWork, Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures]
-
A.
Bloch waves
Bloch waves are quantum-mechanical wavefunctions that describe particles, such as electrons, propagating through a periodic crystal lattice and form the basis for understanding electronic band structure in solids.
-
B.
Kirchhoff diffraction theory
Kirchhoff diffraction theory is a classical wave optics framework that models light propagation and diffraction by treating wavefronts as superpositions of secondary spherical waves emitted from an aperture.
-
C.
Fresnel diffraction theory
Fresnel diffraction theory is a wave-optics framework that describes how light diffracts when source or observation distances are finite, using near-field approximations derived from the Huygens–Fresnel principle.
-
D.
Wiener–Hopf equations
Wiener–Hopf equations are integral equations that arise in problems of filtering, prediction, and diffraction, forming the mathematical foundation for optimal linear filters such as the Wiener filter.
-
E.
Rayleigh waves
Rayleigh waves are a type of surface seismic wave that travel along the ground with a rolling motion, causing both vertical and horizontal ground displacement.
- 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]"
