Are you guys aware of the task arithmetic line of work (e.g. this paper and related works following it)? It seems extremely relevant/useful for this line of work (e.g. linear decomposition of the parameter space, some follow-up work ties in with NTK theory and identifies regimes where linearity might be more expected), but you guys don’t appear to have cited it.
If you are aware and didn’t cite it for another reason, fairs!
We’re aware of model diffing work like this, but I wasn’t aware of this particular paper.
It’s probably an edge case: They do happen both to be in weight space and to be suggestive of weight space linearity. Indeed, our work was informed by various observations from a range of areas that suggest weight space linearity (some listed here).
On the other hand, our work focused on decomposing a given network’s parameters. But the line of work you linked above seems more in pursuit of model editing and understanding the difference between two similar models, rather than decomposing a particular model’s weights.
all in all, whether it deserved to be in the related work section is unclear to me. Seems plausible either way. The related work section was already pretty long, but it maybe deserves a section on weight space linearity, though probably not one on model diffing imo.
