The present correction, which appropriately vanishes in the complete basis set (CBS) limit, relies on short-range correlation density functionals (with multi-determinant reference) from range-separated density-functional theory (RS-DFT) to estimate the basis set incompleteness error.
Contrary to conventional RS-DFT schemes which require an \textit{ad hoc} range-separation \textit{parameter} $\mu$, the key ingredient here is a range-separation \textit{function} $\mu(\bf{r})$ which automatically adapts to the spatial non-homogeneity of the basis set incompleteness error.
As illustrative examples, we show how this density-based correction allows us to obtain CCSD(T) correlation energies near the CBS limit for the G2-1 set of molecules with compact Gaussian basis sets.
For example, while CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ yields a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 6.06 kcal/mol compared to CCSD(T)/CBS atomization energies, the CCSD(T)+LDA and CCSD(T)+PBE corrected methods return MAD of 1.19 and 0.85 kcal/mol (respectively) with the same basis.

WFT is attractive as it exists a well-defined path for systematic improvement as well as powerful tools, such as perturbation theory, to guide the development of new attractive WFT \textit{ans\"atze}.
The coupled cluster (CC) family of methods is a typical example of the WFT philosophy and is well regarded as the gold standard of quantum chemistry for weakly correlated systems.
By increasing the excitation degree of the CC expansion, one can systematically converge, for a given basis set, to the exact, full configuration interaction (FCI) limit, although the computational cost associated with such improvement is usually pricey.
One of the most fundamental drawback of conventional WFT methods is the slow convergence of energies and properties with respect to the size of the one-electron basis set.

One of the most fundamental drawbacks of conventional WFT methods is the slow convergence of energies and properties with respect to the size of the one-electron basis set.
This undesirable feature was put into light by Kutzelnigg more than thirty years ago. \cite{Kut-TCA-85}
To palliate this, following Hylleraas' footsteps, \cite{Hyl-ZP-29} Kutzelnigg proposed to introduce explicitly the interelectronic distance $r_{12} = \abs{\br{1} - \br{2}}$ to properly describe the electronic wave function around the coalescence of two electrons. \cite{Kut-TCA-85, KutKlo-JCP-91, NogKut-JCP-94}
The resulting F12 methods yields a prominent improvement of the energy convergence, and achieve chemical accuracy for small organic molecules with relatively small Gaussian basis sets. \cite{Ten-TCA-12, TenNog-WIREs-12, HatKloKohTew-CR-12, KonBisVal-CR-12}

The functional $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ is obviously \textit{not} universal as it depends on $\Bas$.
Moreover, as $\bE{}{\Bas}[\n{}{}]$ aims at fixing the incompleteness of $\Bas$, its main role is to correct
for the lack of cusp in $\wf{}{\Bas}$ (i.e.~a discontinuous derivative) at the e-e coalescence points, a universal condition of exact wave functions.
Because the e-e cusp originates from the divergence of the Coulomb operator at $r_{12} = 0$, a cuspless wave function could equivalently originate from a Hamiltonian with a non-divergent Coulomb interaction at $r_{12} = 0$.
