Model merging aims to build a multi-task learner by combining the parameters of individually fine-tuned models without additional training. While a straightforward approach is to average model parameters across tasks, this often results in…

For a wide range of functions $W\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, we establish a general result for estimating weighted averages of the form \[ \mathbb{E}^{W}_{n \le N} f(\vartheta(n))= \frac{1}{W(N)}\sum_{n=1}^N (W(n)-W(n-1))f(\vartheta(n)),…

First we generalize a famous lemma of Gallagher on the mean square estimate for exponential sums by plugging a weight in the right hand side of Gallagher's original inequality. Then we apply it in the special case of the Cesaro weight, in…
