Researchers have introduced GaP-MoE, a novel method for Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) models designed to prevent representation collapse and enhance expert diversity. Unlike previous approaches that modify loss functions or router architectures, GaP-MoE directly manipulates expert output gradients. It achieves expert specialization by projecting follower expert gradients onto the orthogonal complement of the leader expert's recent gradients, thereby removing directional overlap without impacting the task objective. Evaluations on fine-tuning tasks like GLUE with BERT-based models and from-scratch pretraining with GPT-2-based models on datasets such as WikiText-103, enwik8, and text8 demonstrate that GaP-MoE performs comparably to or better than standard SMoE models.
