FLAMES: Improving LLM Math Reasoning via a Fine-Grained Analysis of the Data Synthesis Pipeline
Recent works improving LLM math reasoning with synthetic data have used unique setups, making comparison of data synthesis strategies impractical. This leaves many unanswered questions about the roles of different factors in the synthetic data pipeline, such as the impact of filtering low-quality problems. To address this gap, we introduce FLAMES, a Framework for LLM Assessment of Math rEasoning Data Synthesis, and perform a systematic study of 10 existing data synthesis strategies and multiple…

My fair city of Roanoke attained “Bee City USA” status in 2022, which aims to “promote healthy, sustainable habitats for bees and other pollinators, responsible for the reproduction of nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plant species and one in every three bites of food we eat.”
Last night, a couple of garden clubs teamed up with the city to screen a new PBS Nature documentary, “My Garden of a Thousand Bees”.

My Garden of a Thousand Bees
New PBS documentary following wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn as he films more than 60 species of bees in his urban garden in Bristol, England, during the COVID-19 2020 lockdown.

"A common Israeli taking point [is] 'How should America respond if rockets were launched from Tijuana at San Diego?' ... it highlights both Israeli ignorance and fears and Palestinian and Xicano/Migrant commonality. Just like how Tel Aviv and Gaza are part of Historic Palestine, San Diego and Tijuana were both Mexico but more importantly part of the homeland of the Kumeyaay People."

Simulating acoustically-actuated flows in complex microchannels using the volume penalization technique
We present a volume penalization technique for simulating acoustically-actuated flows in geometrically complex microchannels. Using a perturbation approach, the nonlinear response of an acoustically-actuated compressible Newtonian fluid moving over obstacles or flowing in a geometrically complex domain is segregated into two sub-problems: a harmonic first-order problem and a time-averaged second-order problem, where the latter utilizes forcing terms and boundary conditions arising from the firs…

Novel diamagnetic garnet-type substrate single crystals for ultralow-damping yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 films at cryogenic temperatures
Y3Sc2Ga3O12-Y3Sc2Al3O12 and Y3Sc2Ga3O12-Y3Al5O12 (YSGAG) solid solution single crystals with diameters up to 30 mm and total lengths up to about 100 mm were grown by the conventional Czochralski technique. Rocking curve measurements on polished sections revealed typical FWHM values of about 22 arcsec, which is indicative of relatively high structural quality for a solid-solution crystal. The grown substrate crystals are nearly lattice-matched with Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) to allow epitaxial growth of hig…

Discussions during the current #IETF meeting led me to write a new draft on a compact CoAP URI expression, Short Paths In CoAP (ShoPinC, following the trade tradition of contrived acronyms).
As not all of the #CoAP crowd is reading the IETF lists, I'm soliciting opinions or feedback from here as well.…

The Fools are Certain; the Wise are Doubtful: Exploring LLM Confidence in Code Completion
Code completion entails the task of providing missing tokens given a surrounding context. It can boost developer productivity while providing a powerful code discovery tool. Following the Large Language Model (LLM) wave, code completion has been approached with diverse LLMs fine-tuned on code (code LLMs). The performance of code LLMs can be assessed with downstream and intrinsic metrics. Downstream metrics are usually employed to evaluate the practical utility of a model, but can be unreliable …

Role of hydrogen dynamics and deposition conditions in photochromic YHO/MoO$_3$ bilayer films
Oxygen-containing yttrium hydride (YHO) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO$_3$) bilayer films (YHO/MoO$_3$) are produced using reactive magnetron sputtering, and their photochromic properties are investigated in relation to the thickness and density of the MoO$_3$ layer. Compared to single YHO films, the YHO/MoO$_3$ films exhibit faster coloration and larger contrast, with both parameters adjustable by varying the thickness or deposition pressure of the MoO$_3$ layer. Transparent YHO/MoO$_3$ films (~…
