Ties merging

TIES-Merging is a method designed to facilitate the efficient merging of multiple task-specific models into a consolidated multitask model. It addresses two primary challenges encountered in the process of model merging with a focus on maintaining objectivity.

One key challenge tackled by TIES-Merging involves addressing redundancy in model parameters. This is achieved by identifying and eliminating redundant parameters within task-specific models, emphasizing the changes made during fine-tuning and selectively retaining the top-k% most significant changes while discarding the rest.

Another challenge pertains to conflicts arising from disagreements between parameter signs across different models. TIES-Merging resolves these conflicts by creating a unified sign vector representing the most dominant direction of change across all models.

The TIES-Merging process consists of three steps:

—Trim: Reduces redundancy in task-specific models by retaining a fraction of the most significant parameters (density parameter) and resetting the remaining parameters to zero.
—Elect Sign: Resolves sign conflicts across different models by creating a unified sign vector based on the most dominant direction (positive or negative) in terms of cumulative magnitude.
—Disjoint Merge: Averages parameter values aligned with the unified sign vector, excluding zero values.
