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: "Die Beugungserscheinungen geradlinig begrenzter Schirme" | Statement: [Eugen von Lommel, notableWork, "Die Beugungserscheinungen geradlinig begrenzter Schirme"]

Context triple: [Eugen von Lommel, notableWork, "Die Beugungserscheinungen geradlinig begrenzter Schirme"]
  • A. 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.
  • B. Fraunhofer diffraction
    Fraunhofer diffraction is the far-field diffraction pattern of waves, typically light, observed when both the source and observation screen are effectively at infinite distance or made so with lenses, producing characteristic interference patterns.
  • C. Poisson spot
    Poisson spot is a bright point of light that appears at the center of the shadow of a circular object due to wave diffraction, providing striking evidence for the wave nature of light.
  • D. Huygens–Fresnel principle
    The Huygens–Fresnel principle is a fundamental concept in wave optics that explains how every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets whose interference determines the wave’s subsequent propagation and diffraction.
  • E. 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.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
