arXiv:2312. 06173v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Merging models fine-tuned from a common, extensively pre-trained large model but specialized for different tasks has been demonstrated as a cheap and scalable strategy to construct a multi-task model that performs well across diverse tasks.
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:2606. 07289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model merging combines several independently fine-tuned experts into a single multi-task model without any training data, reducing the storage, serving, and decentralized-development costs of large foundation models.
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. 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.
arXiv:2606. 06814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The transformer's emergent ability to perform in-context learning (ICL) has sparked a wide range of studies designed to understand its underlying mechanisms.
arXiv:2608. 01422v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine unlearning seeks to remove targeted information from trained models without requiring costly retraining.
arXiv:2509. 16959v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When different objectives conflict with each other in multi-task learning, gradients begin to interfere and slow convergence, thereby potentially reducing the final model's performance.
arXiv:2606. 02221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to construct a joint model for multiple tasks by sharing a common representation across domains.
Class Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to learn new concepts consistently from a data stream without forgetting. Unlike typical CIL methods which need to learn a model from scratch, pre-trained model (PTM) can easily adapt to a new task with fine-tuning.
arXiv:2608. 15516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in multimodal understanding and generation.
