rdfs:comment """ Evolver, model merging in a genetic algorithm
Improves on current merging techniques (my beloved TIES 🫣 )
Train diverse models
Merge regularly or take diff between two models
Update some parameters
Keep if good
Repeat

Merging is aimed at taking many models and getting one that generalizes better, there are various methods for it, read more e.g. on TIES

Genetic algorithms evolve models, in steps:
Create mutations (here new m = m_old + a(m_1-m_2)) m are models a some constant
Crossover, take some of the mutation and apply it, for each parameter randomly keep m_old or update to m_new
Survive, keep only the best performing on val
By sometimes merging and sometimes evolving (and dev sets) they improve over all current methods https://twitter.com/LChoshen/status/1803410445635653960/photo/1
In some sense, this can be seen as a better search in the region between the merged models, which we know is not equally good but all better than the edges
