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: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: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. 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. 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:2608. 04548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language model (MLLM) unlearning methods have been proposed to remove private, sensitive, or proprietary information from well-trained models.
arXiv:2607. 17467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot Test-Time Domain Adaptation (FSTT-DA) seeks to adapt models to novel domains using only a handful of unlabeled target samples.
arXiv:2603. 00198v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Token reduction accelerates long-video vision--language models (VLMs), but existing methods target Transformers, where reduction is treated as token pruning.
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.
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: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. 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.
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.
