Revisiting Model Stitching In the Foundation Model Era 事件

Revisiting Model Stitching In the Foundation Model Era arXiv:2603.12433v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model stitching, connecting early layers of one model (source) to later layers of another (target) via a light stitch layer, has served as a probe of representational compatibility. Prior work finds that models trained on the same dataset remain stitchable (negligible accuracy drop) despite different initializations or objectives. We revisit stitching for Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) th
