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.

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.

The paper introduces RIPPLE, a method for adapting workflow-synthesizing agents through prompt-policy editing without retraining the underlying model. RIPPLE diagnoses failed execution trajectories, maps failures to specific policy segments, and restricts edits to those segments. It then evaluates candidate edits in isolation and replays only those that remain safe after composition, achieving up to a 23.1% improvement in validation success on a synthetic benchmark and positive gains on additional language‑model backbones.

arXiv:2606. 19679v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lifelong knowledge editing aims to efficiently and sequentially update language models over time, as new knowledge becomes available or when the model makes mistakes, while preserving acceptable performance on past knowledge.
