Robust Zero-Shot Generalization for Open-Vocabulary Action Recognition via Task Arithmetic
Open Vocabulary Action Recognition (OVAR) enables the recognition of novel actions by leveraging vision-language representations, overcoming the limitations of traditional closed-set approaches. However, achieving robust performance in real-world scenarios typically requires domain-specific fine-tuning, which is often costly and raises privacy and regulatory concerns. In this work, we propose an alternative paradigm that bypasses target-domain training and recombines knowledge from existing datasets and models. Leveraging model merging and task arithmetic, we extract and combine task vectors from models fine-tuned on diverse public OVAR datasets. We show that, in out-of-distribution settings, the resulting merged model achieves superior zero-shot generalization to the pre-trained base model.
