The estate of David Lynch is currently being auctioned off and I got curious and went through all the things on offer so you don't have to (ok I was just bored but). The stuff I found most intriguing turned out to be his self-made or self-restored furniture, like these:

RCP-Merging: Merging Long Chain-of-Thought Models with Domain-Specific Models by Considering Reasoning Capability as Prior
Large Language Models (LLMs) with long chain-of-thought (CoT) capability, termed Reasoning Models, demonstrate superior intricate problem-solving abilities through multi-step long CoT reasoning. To create a dual-capability model with long CoT capability and domain-specific knowledge without substantial computational and data costs, model merging emerges as a highly resource-efficient method. However, significant challenges lie in merging domain-specific LLMs with long CoT ones since nowadays me…

Hausdorff dimension of specification for the $(α,β)$-shifts
Specification is an important concept in dynamical systems introduced by Bowen. Schmeling proved that the set of $β>1$ such that the corresponding $β$-shift has specification is of Hausdorff dimension $1$. Hu et al. proved that the set of $β>1$ such that the corresponding $(-β)$-shift has specification is of Hausdorff dimension $1$. We show that the set of $(α,β)\in[0,1)\times(1,\infty)$ such that the corresponding $(α,β)$-shift has specification is of Hausdorff dimension $2$. A new dif…

A Survey of Multimodal Ophthalmic Diagnostics: From Task-Specific Approaches to Foundational Models
Visual impairment represents a major global health challenge, with multimodal imaging providing complementary information that is essential for accurate ophthalmic diagnosis. This comprehensive survey systematically reviews the latest advances in multimodal deep learning methods in ophthalmology up to the year 2025. The review focuses on two main categories: task-specific multimodal approaches and large-scale multimodal foundation models. Task-specific approaches are designed for particular cli…

Subspace Fitting Approach for Wideband Near-Field Localization
Two subspace fitting approaches are proposed for wideband near-field localization. Unlike in conventional far-field systems, where distance and angle can be estimated separately, spherical wave propagation in near-field systems couples these parameters. We therefore derive a frequency-domain near-field signal model for multi-target wideband systems and develop a subspace fitting-based MUSIC method that jointly estimates distance and angle. To reduce complexity, a Fresnel approximation MUSIC alg…
