| Drop And REscale (DARE) | November 2023 | Sparsifies the delta parameters (difference between fine-tuned and pre-trained weights) of multiple models by randomly setting a proportion (p) to zero and rescaling the remaining parameters by 1/(1-p) to approximate original embeddings. Then, it applies existing model merging techniques (like averaging or Task Arithmetic) to the sparsified models. |
| Model Breadcrumbs | December 2023 | Constructs sparse weight sets ('breadcrumbs') by subtracting pre-trained weights from fine-tuned weights and then applying a sparsification process to remove outliers and negligible changes. |

By strategically averaging a small number of fine-tuned models (often just two) with the pre-trained model using a geometrically derived interpolation ratio, Model Stock approximates a center-close weight, achieving comparable or superior performance. |

Finally, it resolves sign conflicts within each parameter across fusion vectors by erasing elements with minority signs before merging the remaining parameters with their calculated coefficients, adding the result to the pivot model's weights. |
