New algorithm connects independently trained neural network modes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel empirical algorithm to establish continuous low-loss paths between independently trained neural network models, a phenomenon known as mode connectivity. This new method demonstrates broader applicability than previous techniques, successfully connecting a wider range of architectures including MobileNet, EfficientNet, and Compact Convolutional Transformers (CCT). The algorithm also provides more consistent connectivity paths and supports linking modes trained with different hyperparameters. AI

    Connecting Independently Trained Modes via Layer-Wise Connectivity

    arXiv:2505.02604v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Empirical studies have shown that continuous low-loss paths can be constructed between independently trained neural network models. This phenomenon, known as mode connectivity, refers to the existence of such paths between disti…
