Task Alignment: A Simple Proxy for Practical Model Merging Across Diverse Vision Tasks

The paper introduces the task alignment proxy, a method that accelerates hyperparameter selection for merging models fine‑tuned on diverse vision tasks. It addresses the challenge of training heterogeneous decoders, which makes traditional downstream performance evaluation costly. By using the proxy, the authors demonstrate that model merging can be applied efficiently to multi‑task vision models beyond CLIP‑based classification.
