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.
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. 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. 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.
Merge++ is a post‑hoc refinement technique for model merging that synthesizes task‑representative images by inverting expert checkpoints and then distills expert knowledge into a merged model. It operates without any additional data beyond the checkpoints and can be applied universally across existing weight‑space merging algorithms. Experiments show consistent improvements, with average gains of +2 to +8 points and up to +25.9 on specific configurations.
