ReasonBridge: Efficient Reasoning Transfer from Closed to Open-Source Language Models
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have revealed a significant performance gap between closed-source and open-source models, particularly in tasks requiring complex reasoning and precise instruction following. This paper introduces ReasonBridge, a methodology that efficiently transfers reasoning capabilities from powerful closed-source to open-source models through a novel hierarchical knowledge distillation framework. We develop a tailored dataset Reason1K with only 1,000 care…

A Comparison of Relativistic Coupled Cluster and Equation of Motion Coupled Cluster Quadratic Response Theory
We present the implementation of relativistic coupled cluster quadratic response theory (QR-CC), following our development of relativistic equation of motion coupled cluster quadratic response theory (QR-EOMCC) [X. Yuan et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2023, 19, 9248]. These codes, which can be used in combination with relativistic (2- and 4-component based) as well as non-relativistic Hamiltonians, are capable of treating both static and dynamic perturbations for electric and magnetic operators…

"But to denounce an army is not to denounce a race. And given serving IDF soldiers revealed in the Israeli press just last week that the IDF is actually ordering its troops to fire into unarmed crowds of Palestinians gathering to collect food from its tightly controlled aid centres — ...— it’s understandable that feelings against this genocidal military are running high."

Escher Tile Deformation via Closed-Form Solution
We present a real-time deformation method for Escher tiles -- interlocking organic forms that seamlessly tessellate the plane following symmetry rules. We formulate the problem as determining a periodic displacement field. The goal is to deform Escher tiles without introducing gaps or overlaps. The resulting displacement field is obtained in closed form by an analytical solution. Our method processes tiles of 17 wallpaper groups across various representations such as images and meshes. Rather t…

CANUCS/Technicolor Data Release 1: Imaging, Photometry, Slit Spectroscopy, and Stellar Population Parameters
We present the first data release of the CAnadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS), a JWST Cycle 1 GTO program targeting 5 lensing clusters and flanking fields in parallel (Abell 370, MACS0416, MACS0417, MACS1149, MACS1423; survey area \tilda100 arcmin$^{2}$), with NIRCam imaging, NIRISS slitless spectroscopy, and NIRSpec prism multi-object spectroscopy. Fields centered on cluster cores include imaging in 8 bands from 0.9-4.4$μ$m, alongside continuous NIRISS coverage from 1.15-2$μ$m, w…

AeroLite-MDNet: Lightweight Multi-task Deviation Detection Network for UAV Landing
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly employed in diverse applications such as land surveying, material transport, and environmental monitoring. Following missions like data collection or inspection, UAVs must land safely at docking stations for storage or recharging, which is an essential requirement for ensuring operational continuity. However, accurate landing remains challenging due to factors like GPS signal interference. To address this issue, we propose a deviation warning sys…

I just read the story about the Italian kidnapped by a New York couple and tortured to disclose the credentials for his crypto assets - and the first thing that came to mind was XKCD 538 "Security" about the five dollar wrench.
Am I a bad person?

Last Thursday, the movers ultimately arrived and did an awesome job, emptying the house and garage in 3 hours. The house sale closed with no issues on Friday at 5pm. Today, Monday the 23rd, our house purchase should close mid to late afternoon. Tomorrow, the moving truck arrives to dump our possessions into various rooms. We're almost there...
