TOPSIS-RAD: Ranking According to Desires

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 07253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional TOPSIS derives its reference points -- the Positive Ideal Solution ($PIS$) and Negative Ideal Solution ($NIS$) -- from the observed alternative set, making rankings susceptible to misalignment with decision-maker (DM) requirements, sensitivity to outlier performances, and rank reversal.

Not All Ranks Are Equal: Budget-Aware LoRA Merging Across Tasks

The paper introduces Net Utility, a data‑free metric for selecting which singular directions of low‑rank adapters (LoRAs) to keep when merging across tasks. By scoring each direction for task utility and interference, and then globally selecting the highest‑scoring directions under a total budget constraint, the method avoids the uniform‑budget assumption that hampers existing merging techniques. Experiments on vision and language tasks show that Net Utility‑based rank allocation yields about a 2% performance gain over other merging methods.
