It was developed and tested only with Wikipedia, and its passage encodings and index stay frozen during fine-tuning. This makes its transfer to specialized fields uncertain. The authors present RAG-end2end, which jointly trains the… 2. **[Arcee's MergeKit: A Toolkit for Merging Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/goddard-2024-arcee-s-mergekit-toolkit-merging/)** *(2024 · 101 citations)* Fine-tuning a separate LLM for every task is costly to store and deploy. It can also erode general abilities through catastrophic forgetting, and it stops related tasks from benefiting one another. Model merging addresses this by combining the parameters of existing checkpoints into a single model with no extra… ## Co-authors here 1 co-author with a page, the most papers together first. - [Vladimir Karpukhin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/vladimir-karpukhin/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/): [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 178 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shamane-siriwardhana/cited-by/).
