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]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) 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.
