Closed-Form Spectral Regularization for Multi-Task Model Merging

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.

Nonlinear mixture model motivated subspace clustering

arXiv:2606. 29261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We derive the linear union-of-subspaces (UoS) model for subspace clustering (SC) from the nonlinear mixture model (NMM) used in blind source separation (BSS) to represent a D-dimensional observation vector as an unknown multivariate nonlinear mapping of C latent variables.

When Features Become Instances: Inverted Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Feature Selection

The paper introduces Inverted Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Feature Selection (ICLFS), a method that treats each feature as a sample by inverting the data matrix and applies a contrastive learning framework to learn consistent representations across masked positive views and a shuffled negative view. Feature saliency is derived from the magnitude of projector‑space embeddings, and a Laplacian‑Gated Ranking Correction step refines the ranking by reducing local redundancy. Experiments on 12 benchmark datasets show that ICLFS achieves the best clustering accuracy on 10 datasets compared to both classical and neural baselines, demonstrating the effectiveness of feature‑wise contrastive consistency for unsupervised feature selection.
