In the ever-evolving landscape of machine learning, model fusion has emerged as a promising technique for enhancing model performance and generalization. Today, we’re excited to introduce FusionBench, a comprehensive benchmark specifically designed to evaluate and compare deep model fusion methodologies. FusionBench offers a robust, modular codebase that empowers researchers and developers to push the boundaries of what’s possible in model fusion.

Why FusionBench?

FusionBench stands out for its flexibility, ease of use, and scalability. It is designed to support both novice researchers and seasoned professionals, offering a robust platform for innovation and benchmarking in deep model fusion.

Whether you’re aiming to push the limits of existing model fusion techniques or develop novel approaches, FusionBench provides the tools and infrastructure to make your research endeavors a success.

Understanding FusionBench

FusionBench provides a meticulously crafted framework that supports rigorous analysis and experimentation in the domain of model fusion. The project comprises several key components, each designed to facilitate a thorough understanding and application of model fusion techniques.

Key Components of FusionBench

Algorithm, Model Pool, and Task Pool

1. Fusion Algorithms: The fusion algorithms is the core processing unit where the magic happens. This component applies specifiec fusion algorithms to integrate models from the model pool.
2. Model Pool: At the heart of FusionBench is the Model Pool, which defines a set of models ready for fusion.
3. Task Pool: The Task Pool is a curated collection of tasks that the fused models are tested on. Through these tasks, FusionBench assesses the practical applicability and robustness of the new models.

Supporting Modules

FusionBench’s modular structure is further enhanced by its supporting modules, including:

1. Models & Wrappers: Tools and scripts for model loading, wrapping, and pre-processing.
2. Datasets: A diverse array of datasets used for training, validation, and testing.
3. Metrics: Comprehensive performance metrics that provide deep insights into model capabilities.

These three foundational modules—Models & Wrappers, Datasets, and Metrics—are the bedrock of the Task Pool and Model Pool. By configuring YAML files, we can combine models and datasets to form the Model Pool, or combine datasets and metrics to form the Task Pool.

By organizing these components into a structured and modular codebase, FusionBench ensures flexibility, ease of use, and scalability for researchers and developers. The project not only serves as a benchmark but also as a robust platform for innovation in the realm of deep model fusion.

YAML Configurations

One of the standout features of FusionBench is its use of YAML Configurations. These configurations offer seamless customization and scalability by allowing users to:

1. Specify models, datasets, and metrics with ease.
2. Adjust parameters and settings without delving into the core codebase.
