Recently the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been successfully applied in code generation. However, existing pipelines for retrieval-augmented code generation (RACG) employ static knowledge bases with a single source, limiting the adaptation...
I've been a Fidelity customer for over 30 years and have had a dedicated financial advisor for the last 20. But yesterday I get an email saying that since I'm a "self-directed investor" my financial ...
In recent years, a great emphasis has been put on engineering the acoustic signature of vehicles that represents the overall comfort level for passengers. Due to highly uncertain behavior of production cars, probabilistic metamodels or surrogates can...
Feb 2, 2026 · Haley is a classic English name meaning "hay meadow" or "natural hay clearing." It’s a sweet, nature-inspired choice that's both familiar and fresh. Haley has been embraced by celebrities …
Automated searches for strong gravitational lensing in optical imaging survey datasets often employ machine learning and deep learning approaches. These techniques require more example systems to train the algorithms than have presently been discover...
Malignant cancers that lead to fatal outcomes for patients may remain dormant for very long periods of time. Although individual mechanisms such as cellular dormancy, angiogenic dormancy and immunosurveillance have been proposed, a comprehensive unde...

MTV is increasingly recognized as an accurate estimate of disease burden, which has prognostic value, but its implementation has been hindered by the time-consuming need for manual segmentation of images. Automated quantitation using AI-driven approa...
May 30, 2024 · Is there a difference between when and whenever? Yes. whenever has built-in emphasis. The logical factual outcome may have been the same but meaning involves more than …
Interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) contain enigmatic sub-micron components called GEMS (Glass with Embedded Metal and Sulfides). The compositions and structures of GEMS indicate that they have been processed by exposure to ion- izing radiation bu...
This paper is an extension of our previous conference paper. In recent years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in developing and improving speech recognition systems to facilitate and enhance human-computer interaction. Today, Auto...
Vision-language models (VLMs) allow to embed texts and images in a shared representation space. However, it has been shown that these models are subject to a modality gap phenomenon meaning there exists a clear separation between the embeddings from...
The tourism and hospitality industry worldwide has been confronted with the problem of attracting and retaining quality employees. If today's students are to become the effective practitioners of tomorrow, it is fundamental to understand their percep...
Accurate quartic anharmonic force fields for CF$_4$ and SiF$_4$ have been calculated using the CCSD(T) method and basis sets of $spdf$ quality. Based on the {\it ab initio} force field with a minor empirical adjustment, the vibrational energy level...
The Swift XRT has been observing GRB afterglows since December 23, 2004. Three-quarters of these observations begin within 300 s of the burst onset, providing an unprecendented look at the behavior of X-ray emission from GRB afterglows in the first...
