%Therefore, a number of approximate RS-DFT schemes have been developed using either single-reference WFT approaches (such as M{\o}ller-Plesset perturbation theory\cite{AngGerSavTou-PRA-05}, coupled cluster\cite{GolWerSto-PCCP-05}, random-phase approximations\cite{TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09,JanHenScu-JCP-09}) or multi-reference WFT approaches (such as multi-reference CI\cite{LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97}, multiconfiguration self-consistent field\cite{FroTouJen-JCP-07}, multi-reference perturbation theory\cite{FroCimJen-PRA-10}, density-matrix renormalization group\cite{HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15}, selected CI\cite{FerGinTou-JCP-18}).

One of the most computationally intensive task of the present approach is the evaluation of $\W{\Bas}{}(\br{})$ [see Eqs.~\eqref{eq:wcoal}] at each quadrature grid point.

In our current implementation, the \manu{computational} bottleneck \manu{of the basis set correction} is the four-index transformation to get the two-electron integrals in the molecular orbital basis which appear in Eqs.~\eqref{eq:n2basis} and \eqref{eq:fbasis}.
Nevertheless, this step usually has to be performed for most correlated WFT calculations.
Modern integral decomposition techniques (such as density fitting \cite{Whi-JCP-73}) or atomic-orbital-based algorithms could be employed to significantly speed up this step.
%When the four-index transformation become prohibitive, by performing successive matrix multiplications, one could rewrite the equations directly in the AO basis where it scales formally as $\order{\Ng \Nb^4}$ but where one can take advantage of the sparsity atomic-orbital-based algorithms to significantly speed up the calculations.

We begin our investigation of the performance of the basis set correction by computing the atomization energies of \ce{C2}, \ce{N2}, \ce{O2} and \ce{F2} obtained with Dunning's cc-pVXZ basis sets (X $=$ D, T, Q and 5).
\titou{In the case of \ce{C2} and \ce{N2}, we also perform calculations with the cc-pCVXZ family.}
\ce{N2}, \ce{O2} and \ce{F2} are weakly correlated systems and belong to the G2-1 set \cite{CurRagTruPop-JCP-91} (see below), whereas \ce{C2} already contains a non-negligible amount of strong correlation. \cite{BooCleThoAla-JCP-11}

As the exFCI calculations are converged with a precision of about 0.1 {\kcal}, we can consider these atomization energies as near-FCI values, and they will be our references for \ce{C2}, \ce{N2}, \ce{O2} and \ce{F2}.
