The paper introduces MCircKE, a mechanistic circuit-based knowledge editing framework for large language models. MCircKE identifies the causal circuits involved in a specific reasoning task and surgically updates parameters only within those circuits, thereby addressing the reasoning gap where edited facts are not used in multi-step reasoning. Experiments on the MQuAKE-series benchmarks show that this approach improves multi-hop reasoning performance after knowledge editing.

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.

The paper introduces GLIME, a lifelong model editing framework that integrates knowledge editing with preference optimization to handle continual updates in large language models. GLIME employs replay-based editing and a gradient constraint to prevent overfitting to target prompts and preserve previously edited knowledge. Experiments demonstrate that GLIME enhances knowledge generalization while maintaining editing performance and overall model capabilities.
