MoE experts in pretrained Transformers exhibit functional decorrelation with near-zero Jacobian alignment yet occupy partially overlapping representation subspaces, with routing sparsity modulating the geometry.
A systematic MoE-to-dense conversion via expert scoring, grouping, and distillation yields +6.3 pp average accuracy over dense-to-dense pruning at matched parameter count on tested models.
The paper introduces a new taxonomy for model merging methods and reviews their applications in LLMs, MLLMs, continual learning, multi-task learning, and other subfields while outlining open challenges.
