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: WKB approximation | Statement: [Sommerfeld quantization rules, relatedTo, WKB approximation]

gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: WKB approximation Context triple: [Sommerfeld quantization rules, relatedTo, WKB approximation]
-
A.
WKB
WKB (Well-Known Binary) is a compact binary format used to represent geometric objects in spatial databases and GIS systems.
-
B.
Condon approximation
The Condon approximation is a simplifying assumption in molecular spectroscopy that treats electronic transition dipole moments as independent of nuclear coordinates, enabling easier calculation of vibronic transition intensities.
-
C.
Born–Oppenheimer approximation
The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is a fundamental method in molecular quantum mechanics that simplifies calculations by treating nuclear motion as much slower than electronic motion, allowing their behaviors to be separated.
-
D.
Migdal approximation
The Migdal approximation is a theoretical simplification in many-body physics that neglects vertex corrections in electron-phonon interactions, justified when phonon energies are much smaller than electronic energies.
-
E.
Weyl quantization
Weyl quantization is a mathematical procedure in quantum mechanics that systematically associates classical observables with quantum operators in a symmetric and coordinate-independent way.
- 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]"
