Learning to Edit: Aligning LLMs with Knowledge Editing (2024.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing knowledge editing techniques rely on memorizing updated knowledge, impeding LLMs from effectively combining the new knowledge with their inherent knowledge when answering questions.
Approach: They propose a Learning to Edit framework that equips LLMs with the ability to apply updated knowledge to input questions through a two-phase process .
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms existing methods in knowledge editing tasks and compares it with four benchmarks and two LLM architectures.

Enhancing LLM Knowledge Learning through Generalization (2025.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Continued pre-training on paraphrased data has shown empirical promise for enhancing knowledge acquisition, but this approach is costly and unreliable as it relies on external models or manual effort for rewriting.
Approach: They propose formatting-based data augmentation which diversifies documents conveying the same knowledge by altering document formats rather than their content.
Outcome: The proposed methods improve generalization to diverse paraphrased contexts and enhance pre-training and instruction tuning.
