Causal Path Alignment: Anchoring the Optimization Trajectory for Controllable In-Parameter Knowledge Editing

IJCAI 2026

Knowledge editing is pivotal for efficiently updating the parametric memory of Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling them to function as evolving agents in dynamic environments. However, mainstream in-parameter knowledge editing approaches suffer from Subject-Dominant Memory Interference: modifying

Relation Also Knows: Rethinking the Recall and Editing of Factual Associations in Auto-Regressive Transformer Language Models

AAAI 2025technical

The storage and recall of factual associations in auto-regressive transformer language models (LMs) have drawn a great deal of attention, inspiring knowledge editing by directly modifying the located model weights. Most editing works achieve knowledge editing under the guidance of existing interpret…

Trust-GRS: A Trustworthy Training Framework for Graph Neural Network Based Recommender Systems Against Shilling Attacks

AAAI 2025technical

Graph neural network (GNN) based recommender systems have been widely used in diverse service platforms as they can more effectively capture users' interests. Nevertheless, recent investigations have revealed that the neighborhood aggregation and contrastive learning mechanisms render GNN-based reco…

A Gradient Control Method for Backdoor Attacks on Parameter-Efficient Tuning

ACL 2023long

Parameter-Efficient Tuning (PET) has shown remarkable performance by fine-tuning only a small number of parameters of the pre-trained language models (PLMs) for the downstream tasks, while it is also possible to construct backdoor attacks due to the vulnerability of pre-trained weights. However, a l…

Maximum Entropy Loss, the Silver Bullet Targeting Backdoor Attacks in Pre-trained Language Models

ACL 2023findings

Pre-trained language model (PLM) can be stealthily misled to target outputs by backdoor attacks when encountering poisoned samples, without performance degradation on clean samples. The stealthiness of backdoor attacks is commonly attained through minimal cross-entropy loss fine-tuning on a union of…

COST-EFF: Collaborative Optimization of Spatial and Temporal Efficiency with Slenderized Multi-exit Language Models

EMNLP 2022main

Transformer-based pre-trained language models (PLMs) mostly suffer from excessive overhead despite their advanced capacity. For resource-constrained devices, there is an urgent need for a spatially and temporally efficient model which retains the major capacity of PLMs. However, existing statically…
