The authors introduce model stitching, connecting early layers of one vision model to later layers of another through a trainable bridge, and test it across differently trained models. They train the bridge to match the target’s final features before task adaptation. In tested settings, this beats self-stitch controls; an early VST evaluation recovers 45.5% of two-model gain at 4.3% added resource cost.
