a moment of recognition of the passing of the great #reggae vocalist Jimmy Cliff at age 81..a remarkable talented man whose dynamic performances and voice that emerged from Jamaican poverty brought joy & inspiration to millions around the globe. His international career breakthru came with starring role in the film The Harder They Come in 1972, but he'd already had a greatest hits album out 2 years …

A rarely seen seven-arm octopus was captured on camera 2,300 feet below the surface in remarkable deep-sea footage.
The species
— formally known as the seven-arm octopus (Haliphron atlanticus)
— was recorded by the remotely operated vehicle Ventana, operated by the team at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
According to MBARI, the encounter occurred during a recent expedition in Monterey Bay and marks only the fourth time the organisation has observed…

Resource-Efficient Fine-Tuning of LLaMA-3.2-3B for Medical Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and LLaMA have demonstrated remarkable reasoning abilities but require significant computational resources for fine-tuning. This paper presents a resource-efficient fine-tuning approach for LLaMA-3.2-3B to enhance medical chain-of-thought reasoning while operating under constrained GPU and memory settings. Using parameter-efficient tuning techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA, we adapt the base model on publicly available medical reasoning datasets. The mo…

SAM2-3dMed: Empowering SAM2 for 3D Medical Image Segmentation
Accurate segmentation of 3D medical images is critical for clinical applications like disease assessment and treatment planning. While the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) has shown remarkable success in video object segmentation by leveraging temporal cues, its direct application to 3D medical images faces two fundamental domain gaps: 1) the bidirectional anatomical continuity between slices contrasts sharply with the unidirectional temporal flow in videos, and 2) precise boundary delineation, …

MatSciBench: Benchmarking the Reasoning Ability of Large Language Models in Materials Science
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable abilities in scientific reasoning, yet their reasoning capabilities in materials science remain underexplored. To fill this gap, we introduce MatSciBench, a comprehensive college-level benchmark comprising 1,340 problems that span the essential subdisciplines of materials science. MatSciBench features a structured and fine-grained taxonomy that categorizes materials science questions into 6 primary fields and 31 sub-fields, and includes …

Explicit formulae and topological descriptions of action-minimizing sets for 2-locally potentials of the XY model
We consider ergodic optimization of a symbolic dynamics with uncountable alphabet $[0,1]$ for 2-locally constant potentials with the twist condition, and give explicit formulae of the associated Mather set and the Aubry set. Moreover, we investigate the total disconnectedness of the (quotient) Aubry set, in which case the differentiability of the potential function makes a remarkable difference. Although these results imply that the (quotient) Aubry set is small enough, we give a complete chara…
