arXiv:2312.06173v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Merging models fine-tuned from a common, extensively pre-trained large model but specialized for different tasks has been demonstrated as a cheap and scalable strategy to construct a multi-task model that performs well across diverse tasks. Recent research, exemplified by task arithmetic, highlights that this multi-task model can be derived through arithmetic operations on task vectors. Nevertheless, current merging techniques frequently resolve potential conflicts among parameters from task-specific models by evaluating individual attributes
The proliferation of specialized large models based on common pre-trained architectures necessitates efficient methods for combining their expertise without catastrophic interference, making model fusion a critical area of current research.
This research addresses a core challenge in scaling multi-task AI systems by enabling more effective and conflict-free integration of specialized models, leading to more robust and versatile AI agents.
Improved model fusion techniques will allow for the creation of more capable and cost-effective multi-task AI models, potentially accelerating the development of complex AI systems with broader applicability.
