Riemannian--Lorentz Fusion of Vision Transformers and State-Space Models

The paper introduces Riemannian–Lorentz Parameter Fusion (RLPF), a method for merging a Vision Transformer and a state‑space model without gradient descent. RLPF aligns parameter groups by semantic role, projects them onto a common coordinate system, lifts selected coordinates to the Lorentz hyperboloid, computes a regularized geodesic barycenter, and decodes the result back into the two branches, with a learned gate combining their logits. The resulting fine‑tuned system achieves 82.37 % on CIFAR‑10, 75.04 % on Oxford‑IIIT Pet, and 78.58 % top‑1 accuracy on ImageNet‑1K, surpassing the best‑parent accuracies of 76.54 %, 71.42 %, and 76.42 % respectively.
