Multi-task model merging aims to consolidate several task-specific experts into a unified model, yet static merging consistently suffers from parameter interference. While dynamic merging models aim to bridge this gap, many works rely on the costly storage and loading of redundant expert components at inference.
arXiv:2606. 22589v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ever since the advent of foundation models and the pre-training-finetuning paradigm, there have been numerous efforts to merge multiple task-specific experts into a single multi-task model.
arXiv:2606. 19164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging aims to enable multi-task learning by integrating the capabilities of multiple models fine-tuned from the same pre-trained checkpoint into a single model.
arXiv:2606. 18627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging has emerged as a training-free alternative to multi-task learning, aiming to combine multiple task-specific fine-tuned models into a single multi-task model.
arXiv:2607. 01689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging aims to combine existing single-task solutions into a multi-task solution without additional data-driven fine-tuning.
arXiv:2606. 07500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning in Large Language Models (LLMs) is hindered by the plasticity-stability dilemma, where acquiring new capabilities often leads to catastrophic forgetting of previous knowledge.
arXiv:2506. 14126v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep learning is increasingly characterized by the use of open-weight foundation models that can be fine-tuned on specialized datasets.
arXiv:2605. 20247v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a major obstacle to continual learning in large language models (LLMs) and vision--language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2608. 01184v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-free continual model merging must incorporate a stream of specialized models while retaining both pretrained general knowledge and previously acquired tasks, without access to task data.
arXiv:2502. 04411v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model merging aggregates Large Language Models (LLMs) finetuned on different tasks into a stronger one.
arXiv:2602. 12952v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adapting large pre-trained models to downstream tasks often produces task-specific parameter updates that are expensive to relearn for every model variant.
arXiv:2608. 06699v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic multimodal large language models (MLLMs) extend multimodal perception and reasoning with planning, tool use, and interaction in dynamic environments.
