Researchers have developed a novel method called Riemannian--Lorentz Parameter Fusion (RLPF) to merge independently trained vision models, even when their architectures differ. This technique addresses the challenges of combining models like Vision Transformers (ViTs) and state-space models (SSMs) by aligning parameter groups and projecting them into common coordinates. The RLPF method then utilizes a learned gate to combine the outputs of these hybrid branches, demonstrating improved performance on benchmark datasets such as CIFAR-10, Oxford-IIIT Pet, and ImageNet-1K.
