Shannon's problem on the monotonicity of entropy and a Conjecture of Tao

Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. finitely supported random variables in a torsion-free abelian group, and write $S_k=X_1+\cdots+X_k$, and $H(S_k)$ is the Shannon entropy $S_k$, for all $k \ge 1$. We prove that, for every fixed $n\geq1$, \[ H(S_{n+1})-H(S_n) \geq \frac12\log\frac{n+1}{n} -o_{H(X_1)\to\infty}(1), \] unifor...

CORAM: Coherent Orthogonal Rotation for Model Merging

Merging finetuned models combines specialized capabilities without joint training or access to the original data. Most methods operate by linear arithmetic in Euclidean weight space, which cannot carry the geometry of the update. Orthogonal Model Merging (OrthoMerge) uses a single orthogonal transform for each weight m...
