Evolutionary merging with a 14-dimensional genome and MRI-Trust Fusion produces models that outperform their trained parents on reasoning benchmarks without any gradient updates.
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 gives each task an element budget during model merging, letting users shift task-wise accuracy and auto-setting the budget from target-environment label/feature similarity.
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.
