OMEGA framework generates novel ML classifiers via meta-prompts and executable code that outperform scikit-learn baselines on 20 benchmark datasets.
HeteroFusion fuses heterogeneous LLMs via topology-based alignment and conflict-aware denoising, outperforming merging and ensemble baselines in cross-family and multi-source settings.
Tunable MAGMAX adds a tunable preference vector to model merging for continual learning, enabling automatic adaptation to target environments using small amounts of data while maintaining or improving task-wise performance.
Data flow space model merging is formalized as a mixed binary-continuous black-box optimization problem, where a structured approach respecting variable dependencies achieves 6.7% higher accuracy and 51.4% smaller search space than unstructured methods on real language models.
