The excerpt is from a document titled "ZipIt Merging Models from Different Tasks" and discusses the concept of zipping models trained on different tasks. The document presents experiments and results demonstrating the effectiveness of the ZipIt method in merging models and generating semantically similar images. It also discusses the impact of data augmentation and the amount of data required for accurate results. The document compares ZipIt with prior work and highlights its advantages in terms of performance and scalability. In this document, the authors propose a method called ZipIt! for merging models from different tasks. The method focuses on merging features within models rather than clustering. The authors find that ZipIt! outperforms prior work and can effectively utilize the extra capacity of merged models. They also analyze the behavior of ZipIt! and find that partial zipping is necessary for difficult tasks like ImageNet. They introduce a budget parameter to control the number of same-model merges and observe that a higher budget improves performance. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of ZipIt! on CIFAR-100 and ImageNet datasets and show that it achieves near-ensemble accuracy with a speed-up of 1.5x. They compare ZipIt! with other methods like Permute and Git Re-Basin and find that ZipIt! performs better, especially at larger model capacities. Overall, ZipIt! is a promising approach for merging models from different tasks and effectively utilizing their capacity. The text discusses the ZipIt method for merging models from different tasks. The method involves partial zipping and merging features within models. It also introduces a budget parameter and repeated matching for merging more than two models together. The results show that ZipIt outperforms baselines and achieves close to the upper bound ensemble accuracy. The experiments are conducted on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet-1k datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of same-model budget and repeated matching. Skip connections are also considered in the merging process. ZipIt is a method for merging models trained on different tasks without additional training. It combines the weights of two or more models to create a multi-task model. The method involves merging features within each model and partially zipping them together. ZipIt exploits redundancy in the features of the models to align their input and output spaces. It uses merge and unmerge matrices to combine and separate the features. The merged features are then propagated through the layers of the network. ZipIt has been shown to outperform prior work on merging models trained on disjoint tasks and models with different initializations. ZipIt is a method for merging models trained on different tasks without additional training. It improves accuracy by creating a multi-head model and merging the intermediate outputs. Existing methods merge the entire network, but ZipIt focuses on merging specific layers. It addresses the challenge of redundant features within and across models and introduces strategies for merging features within each model. The goal is to combine models trained on completely separate tasks and achieve better performance. ZipIt can match the ensemble performance of other methods and provides a 20-60% improvement over prior work. It offers a general method for merging two arbitrary models and allows for partially zipping models up to a specified layer. The code for ZipIt is available on GitHub.
