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.
