🌟 Why Knowledge Editing?

Knowledge Editing is a compelling field of research that focuses on facilitating efficient modifications to the behavior of models, particularly foundation models. The aim is to implement these changes within a specified scope of interest without negatively affecting the model's performance across a broader range of inputs.

Keywords

Knowledge Editing has strong connections with following topics.

  • Updating and fixing bugs for large language models
  • Language models as knowledge base, locating knowledge in large language models
  • Lifelong learning, unlearning and etc.
  • Security and privacy for large language models
