Researchers have explored model merging as a scalable technique for adapting Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems across multiple domains. This approach combines specialized models into a single, more efficient model, avoiding the computational cost of repeated fine-tuning. A new algorithm, BoostedTSV-M, was proposed to improve numerical stability and mitigate rank collapse, outperforming traditional fine-tuning on European Portuguese while maintaining general performance.
