CoMerge: Conflict-Driven Preference Optimization for Multi-Task Model Merging

CoMerge introduces a conflict‑driven preference optimization framework for merging multi‑task large language models, reframing merging as a preference problem that uses self‑supervised hard negative samples derived from naive merging defects. By optimizing lightweight, tensor‑wise merging coefficients, the method mitigates parameter‑space conflicts while preserving task‑specific capabilities. Experiments show CoMerge achieves an average normalized performance of 0.9968 on MergeBench and improves conflict‑sensitive tasks on Llama‑3.1‑8B‑Instruct, outperforming both data‑free and data‑driven baselines while optimizing only 1,445 scalar coefficients.

CoMerge: Conflict-Driven Preference Optimization for Multi-Task Model Merging

CoMerge is a conflict‑driven preference optimization framework for merging multiple expert language models into a single multi‑task model without full retraining. It treats model merging as a preference optimization problem, using self‑supervised, conflict‑driven hard negative samples derived from naive merging defects to refine lightweight, tensor‑wise merging coefficients. Experiments show CoMerge achieves near‑perfect performance on MergeBench and improves instruction‑following and safety on Llama‑3.1‑8B‑Instruct while optimizing only 1,445 scalar coefficients.

Stack Trace-Based Crash Deduplication with Transformer Adaptation

Stack Trace-Based Crash Deduplication with Transformer Adaptation introduces dedupT, a transformer‑based method that models entire stack traces instead of isolated frames. The approach first fine‑tunes a pretrained language model on stack traces and then trains a fully‑connected network to rank duplicate crashes. Experiments on four public datasets show dedupT improves Mean Reciprocal Rank by over 15% versus the best deep‑learning baseline and up to 10% over traditional methods, while also achieving higher ROC‑AUC for unique crash detection.
