DOW-KE: Anchor-Free Multi-Layer Knowledge Editing via Direct End-to-End Weight Optimization

DOW-KE is an anchor‑free knowledge‑editing method that directly optimizes weight updates across multiple layers by backpropagating the final editing objective through the entire model. Unlike traditional locate‑then‑edit pipelines that optimize intermediate activations and then apply local weight updates—leading to a closure gap—DOW-KE ensures that what is optimized is exactly what is deployed, incorporating preservation constraints within the update parameterization. Experiments on two datasets and three models show that DOW-KE achieves the highest overall Score and neighborhood Specificity in five of six evaluated settings.

Generalizable Lifelong Model Editing via Preference Optimization

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.

ALOE: Semantically Addressed Low-Rank Operators for 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.

Retrievable Gradients: Continual Post-Training Without Cumulative Weight Drift

arXiv:2606. 15734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual post-training enables models to absorb emerging knowledge after deployment, but repeatedly updating shared parameters can accumulate weight drift, potentially causing catastrophic forgetting and degrading general capabilities.
