Exploring Heterogeneous Model Merging Approach for Complex Knowledge Transfer

Specialized models encode task-oriented behavior, but transferring that behavior to a general language model usually requires training, distillation, or representation alignment. We study whether such ability can instead be transferred directly at the parameter level. We apply two existing training-free heterogeneous m...

Rethinking Heterogeneous LLM Merging: A Weighted Model Averaging Perspective

The results show that simple parameter averaging, when paired with lightweight dimensional adaptation and carefully controlled ratios, is a surprisingly strong baseline for heterogeneous LLM merging, suggesting that the limits of direct weighted fusion may also bound what more complex heterogeneous merging methods can...

Understanding Knowledge Transfer Mechanism in Heterogeneous MLLM Fusion: A Simple Linear Approach

Cross-scale heterogeneous MLLM fusion is recast as selective language-side reasoning transfer within a narrow, low-interference regime, rather than broad capability inheritance, to recast cross-scale capability transfer within a narrow, low-interference regime.

Training-Free Knowledge Transfer Across Model Scales through Activation-Guided Pruning

Evidence is provided that cross-scale heterogeneous fusion can succeed without explicit semantic alignment when the donor contribution is sufficiently concentrated and carefully selected, and that activation-guided extraction improves the quality of the transferable donor slice while preserving the small-ratio fusion r...
