Local low-rank task-gradient structures exist in weights and activations but are non-stationary, with initial recovery updates forming a basis capturing 77% of LoRA displacement and parameter steps aligning 0.58 cosine with CAA steering vectors.

DG-Hard uses Donoho-Gavish hard thresholding on the fine-tuning weight delta to separate task-aligned signal from noise-like residual, recovering damaged capabilities while preserving target-task gains.
ODE-M formulates continual model merging as a barrier-aware ODE trajectory in parameter space, using first-order feedback and a utility-aware schedule to balance retained knowledge and new task performance.
BAR trains independent domain experts via separate mid-training, SFT, and RL pipelines then composes them with a MoE router to match monolithic retraining performance at lower cost and without catastrophic forgetting.
A method learns synthetic-to-real parameter corrections from source languages and transfers them to target languages without any real target data, improving HTR across five languages and six models.
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.
