CrossGMN introduces a graph metanetwork that processes a trained source network and an initialized target network simultaneously, enabling equivariant cross‑architecture weight‑space transformations. By preserving symmetry through cross‑network message passing, CrossGMN can refine target network initializations while remaining invariant to source permutations and equivariant to target permutations. Experiments demonstrate that CrossGMN accelerates knowledge distillation, transfers across datasets without retraining, and unifies compression from diverse source architectures into a common target architecture.
arXiv:2610.00420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A weight space network (or metanetwork) takes the weights of another neural network as input and predicts properties of it. Most prior work trains such...

arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.
arXiv:2606. 19538v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Convolutional networks, recurrent networks, and transformers each encode different inductive biases -- locality, sequential memory, and content-dependent pairwise interaction -- and have remained mathematically distinct since their inception.
arXiv:2607. 05017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of deep learning models crucially depends on the settings of hyperparameters like learning rate, initialization scale, and weight decay.
arXiv:2602. 06245v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural-network techniques are often transferred across architecture families by analogy, but such transfer is valid only when the assumptions required by a technique are preserved.
arXiv:2603. 02462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A key challenge in developing unified neural solvers for combinatorial optimization (CO) is the efficient generalization of models from a given set of tasks to new tasks unseen during initial training.
arXiv:2602. 18084v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Equivariance is central to graph generative models, as it ensures the model respects the permutation symmetry of graphs.
