KLOD: Locality-Preserving Knowledge Editing via Non-Target Distribution Preservation
AI InsightA new arXiv paper proposes KLOD, a bounded distribution-preserving objective for fine-tuning-based knowledge editing: it stops target amplification once a probability threshold is reached, while preserving the non-target distribution at target positions and the full next-token distribution at prefix positions. Compared with standard cross-entropy, which does not constrain non-target distributions, KLOD directly suppresses distributional drift in sequential editing, mitigating locality degradation by design. This means locality control in knowledge editing shifts from empirical regularization to explicit distribution preservation.Key TakeawayFrom merely boosting target probability to explicitly preserving non-target distributions.Why It MattersLocality degradation is a core obstacle to deploying knowledge editing; KLOD offers a bounded and explicit constraint approach that may reduce cumulative drift in sequential editing.Who's Affected- AI ResearchersGain a new objective design idea for locality control, reproducible for drift comparisons.
