arXiv:2611.06185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge editing has become a key technique for updating knowledge in large language models. However, existing methods neglect the geometric structure of the knowledge representation space, leading to two key limitations: they cannot distinguish which pre-trained knowledge should be preferentially preserved (core vs. non-core) nor which new edits are inherently difficult (hard vs. easy). To address this, we propose GEdit, a geometry-aware framework built on a Low-Rank Plus Diagonal (LR+D) factor model that captures the intrinsic low-rank structure of Transformer FFN hidden representations. GEdit features two complementary mechanisms. First, the low-rank regularization applies targeted protection on a low-rank core knowledge subspace. Second, the adaptive regularization dynamically adjusts the regularization strength based on each edit request's editability: relaxing constraints for hard edits to ensure success, and tightening them for easy edits to better preserve pretrained knowledge. Extensive experiments on GPT2-XL, GPT-J, and LLaMA-3-8B under large-scale editing scenarios, including both mini-batch and fully sequential editing settings with up to 10,000 continuous updates, show that GEdit consistently and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both editing success and knowledge preservation.
