Model Merging by Output Space Projection - a case study by Bethan Evans

Modern machine-learning models are often adapted, or fine-tuned, for specific tasks from a pre-trained base model. One model might perform well on a particular language task, another on an image-classification problem, and another on a different domain altogether. Model merging asks whether these specialised models can be combined into a single model that performs well across tasks, without retraining from scratch.

Song of the Week: the Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes
