Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to enable models to sequentially learn new tasks while retaining knowledge from previous ones. Recently, merging-based pre-trained CIL methods have gained significant attention due to their competitive performance and high inference efficiency. However, most exi
Model merging offers an efficient solution for integrating task-specific knowledge from multiple fine-tuned models. Most existing approaches focus on manipulating the difference vectors between fine-tuned and pre-trained weights, often overlooking the generalization capabilities inherent in the pret…
Multi-task model merging offers a promising paradigm for integrating multiple expert models into a unified system without additional training. Existing state-of-the-art techniques, such as Task Arithmetic and its variants, merge models by accumulating task vectors—defined as the parameter difference…
Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL), as a primary paradigm of graph self-supervised learning, spurs a fruitful line of research in tackling the data sparsity issue by maximizing the consistency of user/item embeddings between different augmented views with random perturbations. However, diversity, as a…
Multi-task model merging aims to consolidate knowledge from multiple fine-tuned task-specific experts into a unified model while minimizing performance degradation. Existing methods primarily approach this by minimizing differences between task-specific experts and the unified model, either from a p…
