Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in knowledge acquisition and reasoning, yet their ability to retain previously acquired knowledge under repeated updates remains insufficiently understood. Existing evaluation paradigms primarily focus on single-step reasoning or static knowledge editing, which fail to capture the temporal dynamics of knowledge retention and degradation during continual model modification.

InComeS is a framework that improves large language models (LLMs) for model editing by compressing editing contexts into a key‑value cache associated with a special gist token. It adds cross‑attention modules to dynamically select the most relevant information from these gist pools, allowing efficient handling of multiple edits beyond the LLM’s context window. Experiments on diverse editing benchmarks show that InComeS enhances both effectiveness and efficiency compared to existing methods.

The paper introduces Multi-Objective In-context Knowledge Editing (MO‑IKE), a reinforcement learning framework that treats prompt construction for knowledge editing as a constrained Markov decision process. MO‑IKE jointly optimizes three competing objectives—reliability, generality, and specificity—by training a dynamic retriever to balance these goals and produce globally coherent prompts. Experiments on Llama‑3.2 show that MO‑IKE raises edit success from 85.0 % to 92.0 %, improves paraphrase consistency from 77 % to 79 %, and boosts retention rate by 23 % compared to earlier RL‑based methods.

The paper introduces ALOE, a method for knowledge editing that learns semantic addresses from paraphrases and hard negatives, aligns them with autoregressive hidden states, and embeds a gated low‑rank operator within a single MLP layer. This design allows the edited model to run in one forward pass without external retrievers or routers. Experiments on CounterFact, ZSRE, and KnowEdit show high efficacy (0.955–0.999) and locality (0.981–1.000) across 7–8B model families, with analyses indicating effective separation of edits and suppression of out‑of‑scope activation.
