Transferring pre-trained knowledge from a source model to a target model of a different architectural size is a key challenge for flexible and efficient model scaling. However, current parameter-space methods treat Small-to-Large (S2L) and Large-to-Small (L2S) scaling as separate, incompatible probl
Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales. In response to this ch…
The training of diffusion models is computationally intensive, making effective pre-training essential. However, real-world deployments often demand models of variable sizes due to diverse memory and computational constraints, posing challenges when corresponding pre-trained versions are unavailable
Universal morphology control aims to learn a universal policy that generalizes across heterogeneous robot morphologies, with Transformer-based controllers emerging as a dominant choice. However, such architectures incur substantial computational costs, resulting in high deployment overhead, and exis…
Knowledge in modern neural networks is often entangled and structurally opaque, making current transfer methods—typically based on reusing entire parameter sets—inefficient and inflexible. Efforts to improve flexibility by reusing partial parameters frequently depend on handcrafted heuristics or rig…
