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: STED microscopy | Statement: [Stefan Hell, knownFor, STED microscopy]

Target entity: STED microscopy
Context triple: [Stefan Hell, knownFor, STED microscopy]
  • A. Nomarski microscopy
    Nomarski microscopy, also known as differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, is an optical technique that enhances contrast in transparent, unstained specimens by converting phase shifts in light passing through the sample into variations in image intensity.
  • B. Zernike phase-contrast method
    The Zernike phase-contrast method is a microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through transparent specimens into intensity differences, enabling detailed visualization of living cells and other unstained samples.
  • C. Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts
    "Microscopy by reconstructed wave-fronts" is the seminal 1948 paper by Dennis Gabor that introduced the principle of holography by using reconstructed wavefronts to form images.
  • D. Talbot effect
    The Talbot effect is a near-field optical phenomenon in which a periodic structure illuminated by coherent light produces self-images at regular intervals along the propagation direction.
  • E. Stückelberg interferometry
    Stückelberg interferometry is a quantum interference technique in driven two-level systems that exploits repeated Landau–Zener transitions to probe energy level structures and coherent dynamics.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Provenance (5 batches)

The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
