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: Mott insulator | Statement: [Nevill Mott, knownFor, Mott insulator]

A.
Wigner crystal
A Wigner crystal is an ordered lattice of electrons that forms in low-density systems when their mutual Coulomb repulsion dominates over kinetic energy, leading to a crystalline arrangement of charge.
-
B.
Fermi liquid theory
Fermi liquid theory is a framework in condensed matter physics that describes how interacting fermions in a metal behave like long-lived quasiparticles with properties similar to those of a non-interacting Fermi gas.

Schrieffer
Schrieffer is the surname of John Robert Schrieffer, the American physicist and Nobel laureate known for co-developing the BCS theory of superconductivity.
-
D.
Heisenberg model
The Heisenberg model is a fundamental theoretical framework in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics that describes interacting spins on a lattice and underpins much of our understanding of magnetism in materials.
-
E.
Fermi surface
The Fermi surface is the boundary in momentum space separating occupied from unoccupied electron states at zero temperature, crucial for determining a metal’s electronic and superconducting properties.
- F. None of above. chosen

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]"
Input
Entity: Mott insulator Triple: [Nevill Mott, knownFor, Mott insulator]
