arXiv:2607. 20561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LoRA adapters provide an efficient way to specialize a pretrained model for many downstream tasks, but deploying one adapter per task requires adapter storage and task selection at inference time.
arXiv:2606. 19549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) makes it cheap to train many domain- and task-specific language model adapters, but whether two adapters can be merged is usually discovered only after both have been fully trained and evaluated.
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. 03723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) enables parameter-efficient specialization of foundation models, but the proliferation of task-specific adapters fragments capabilities across many adapters, complicating reuse and deployment.
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:2606. 16501v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging has become a practical post-training strategy for building a single multi-task large language model (LLM) by combining multiple task-specialized models.
arXiv:2606. 00511v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging aims to consolidate multiple task-specific models fine-tuned on different datasets into a unified architecture that performs cross-domain proficiency.
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:2608. 12842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging has recently attracted significant attention as a promising paradigm for constructing unified multi-task models without requiring additional retraining.
arXiv:2606. 26902v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-task model merging aims to consolidate several task-specific experts into a unified model, yet static merging consistently suffers from parameter interference.
Merging finetuned models combines specialized capabilities without joint training or access to the original data. Most methods operate by linear arithmetic in Euclidean weight space, which cannot carry the geometry of the update.
