Editing Demo

There is a demonstration of editing. The GIF file is created by Terminalizer.

Knowledge Editing

Task Definition

Deployed models may still make unpredictable errors. For example, LLMs notoriously hallucinate, perpetuate bias, and factually decay, so we should be able to adjust specific behaviors of pre-trained models.

Knowledge editing aims to adjust base model's $(f_\theta)$ behavior on the particular edit descriptor $[x_e, y_e]$​​​ efficiently.

Multi Setting

Single Knowledge Editing

Evaluating the performance of the model after a single edit. The model reloads the original weights (e.g. LoRA discards the adapter weights) after a single edit. You should set sequential_edit=False

$$\theta' \leftarrow \text{arg} \min\limits_{\theta} (\Vert f_\theta(x_e) - y_e \Vert)$$

Continuous Knowledge Editing

This requires sequentially editing, and evaluation is performed after all knowledge updates have been applied:

$$\theta' \leftarrow \text{arg} \min\limits_{\theta} \sum_{e=1}^{\Vert X_e \Vert} (\Vert f_\theta(x_e) - y_e \Vert)$$

It makes parameter adjustments for $(x_e, y_e)$, where $x_e \in X_e$ and $f_\theta'(x_e) = y_e$. Here, $X_e$​ represents the whole edit set. To enable continuous editing, you can set sequential_edit=True: README (for more details).

Multi Scenario

Factual Knowledge Editing
Knowledge insert
  • Inject knowledge that LLMs have not seen before. such as:
    • How many times has Messi won the World Cup? 0 $\rightarrow$ 1:
Knowledge update
  • Update outdated knowledge. such as:
    • The president of USA: Donald Trump $\rightarrow$ Joe Biden:
Knowledge erase
  • Erase sensitive information. such as:
    • The phone number of someone is XXXX $\rightarrow$ __

Without influencing the model behavior on unrelated samples, the ultimate goal is to create an edited model $(f_\theta')$​​.

Safety Editing **Detoxifying LLM** strives to build a safe and trustworthy large language model (LLM). Knowledge editing focuses on specific areas for permanent adjustment without compromising overall performance. Then, detoxifying LLM via knowledge editing leverages a small amount of data, usually an instance, to correct the toxic behaviors of the LLM. The edited LLM can defend against various malicious inputs. [README](https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyEdit/blob/main/examples/SafeEdit.md)
MultiModal Model Editing

Editing Task for Image Captioning and Visual Question Answering. README

Personality Editing

The proposed task takes the preliminary attempt to edit LLMs' personalities by editing their opinions on specific topics, given that an individual's opinions can reflect aspects of their personality traits. We draw upon the established BIG FIVE theory as a basis for constructing our dataset and assessing the LLMs' personality expressions. README

Evaluation

Logits-based

  • ES: evaluating the editing success rate based on the logits of pre-generated text.
  • DD: evaluating whether the model changes opinions on other topics based on the logits of pre-generated text.

Generation-based

  • Acc: the accuracy of the generated text after editing the model on target personality.
  • TPEI: measuring whether generated opinion text from the edited model leans more towards the target personality.
  • PAE: utilizing GPT-4 to evaluate the personality traits in generated text.

While for assessing Acc and TPEI, you can download the trained classifier from here.

Comparisons of different technologies

Evaluation

The knowledge editing process generally impacts the predictions for a broad set of inputs that are closely associated with the edit example, called the editing scope.

A successful edit should adjust the model’s behavior within the editing scope while remaining unrelated inputs:

$$ f_{\theta_{e}}(x) = \begin{cases} y_e & \text{if } x \in I(x_e,y_e) \\ f_{\theta}(x) & \text{if } x \in O(x_e, y_e) \end{cases} $$

  • Reliability: the success rate of editing with a given editing descriptor
  • Generalization: the success rate of editing within the editing scope
  • Locality: whether the model's output changes after editing for unrelated inputs
  • Portability: the success rate of editing for reasoning/application(one hop, synonym, logical generalization)
  • Efficiency: time and memory consumption

🌟Overview

EasyEdit is a Python package for edit Large Language Models (LLM) like GPT-J, Llama, GPT-NEO, GPT2, T5(support models from 1B to 65B), the objective of which is to alter the behavior of LLMs efficiently within a specific domain without negatively impacting performance across other inputs. It is designed to be easy to use and easy to extend.

  • EasyEdit contains a unified framework for Editor, Method and Evaluate, respectively representing the editing scenario, editing technique, and evaluation method.

  • Each Knowledge Editing scenario comprises of three components:

    • Editor: such as BaseEditor(Factual Knowledge and Generation Editor) for LM, MultiModalEditor(MultiModal Knowledge).
    • Method: the specific knowledge editing technique used(such as ROME, MEND, ..).
    • Evaluate: Metrics for evaluating knowledge editing performance.
      • Reliability, Generalization, Locality, Portability

  • The current supported knowledge editing techniques are as follows:

    Note 1: Due to the limited compatibility of this toolkit, some knowledge editing methods including T-Patcher, KE, CaliNet are not supported.

    Note 2: Similarly, the MALMEN method is only partially supported due to the same reasons and will continue to be improved.

Current Implementation

You can choose different editing methods according to your specific needs.

📌Use EasyEdit

  • Edit large language models(LLMs) around 5 seconds

  • Following example shows you how to perform editing with EasyEdit. More examples and tutorials can be found at examples

BaseEditor

BaseEditoris the class for Language Modality Knowledge Editing. You can choose the appropriate editing method based on your specific needs.

  • Due to different transformer versions and different GPU models, the editing results may fluctuate slightly.

Introduction by a Simple Example

With the modularity and flexibility of EasyEdit, you can easily use it to edit model.

Step1: Define a PLM as the object to be edited. Choose the PLM to be edited. EasyEdit supports partial models(T5, GPTJ, GPT-NEO, LlaMA so far) retrievable on HuggingFace. The corresponding configuration file directory is hparams/YUOR_METHOD/YOUR_MODEL.YAML, such as hparams/MEND/gpt2-xl.yaml, set the corresponding model_name to select the object for knowledge editing.

model_name: gpt2-xl
model_class: GPT2LMHeadModel
tokenizer_class: GPT2Tokenizer
tokenizer_name: gpt2-xl
model_parallel: false # true for multi-GPU editing

Step2: Choose the appropriate Knowledge Editing Method

## In this case, we use MEND method, so you should import `MENDHyperParams`
from easyeditor import MENDHyperParams
## Loading config from hparams/MEMIT/gpt2-xl.yaml
hparams = MENDHyperParams.from_hparams('./hparams/MEND/gpt2-xl')

Step3: Provide the edit descriptor and edit target

## edit descriptor: prompt that you want to edit
prompts = [
    'What university did Watts Humphrey attend?',
    'Which family does Ramalinaceae belong to',
    'What role does Denny Herzig play in football?'
]
## You can set `ground_truth` to None !!!(or set to original output)
ground_truth = ['Illinois Institute of Technology', 'Lecanorales', 'defender']
## edit target: expected output
target_new = ['University of Michigan', 'Lamiinae', 'winger']

Step4: Combine them into a BaseEditor EasyEdit provides a simple and unified way to init Editor, like huggingface: from_hparams.

## Construct Language Model Editor
editor = BaseEditor.from_hparams(hparams)

Step5: Provide the data for evaluation Note that the data for portability and locality are both optional(set to None for basic editing success rate evaluation only). The data format for both is a dict, for each measurement dimension, you need to provide the corresponding prompt and its corresponding ground truth. Here is an example of the data:

locality_inputs = {
    'neighborhood':{
        'prompt': ['Joseph Fischhof, the', 'Larry Bird is a professional', 'In Forssa, they understand'],
        'ground_truth': ['piano', 'basketball', 'Finnish']
    },
    'distracting': {
        'prompt': ['Ray Charles, the violin Hauschka plays the instrument', 'Grant Hill is a professional soccer Magic Johnson is a professional', 'The law in Ikaalinen declares the language Swedish In Loviisa, the language spoken is'],
        'ground_truth': ['piano', 'basketball', 'Finnish']
    }
}

In the above example, we evaluate the performance of the editing methods about "neighborhood" and "distracting".

Step6: Edit and Evaluation Done! We can conduct Edit and Evaluation for your model to be edited. The edit function will return a series of metrics related to the editing process as well as the modified model weights. [sequential_edit=True for continuous editing]

metrics, edited_model, _ = editor.edit(
    prompts=prompts,
    ground_truth=ground_truth,
    target_new=target_new,
    locality_inputs=locality_inputs,
    sequential_edit=False # True: start continuous editing ✈️
)
## metrics: edit success, rephrase success, locality e.g.
## edited_model: post-edit model

The maximum input length for EasyEdit is 512. If this length is exceeded, you will encounter the error "CUDA error: device-side assert triggered." You can modify the maximum length in the following file:LINK

Step7: RollBack In sequential editing, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of one of your edits and you do not wish to lose your previous edits, you can use the rollback feature to undo your previous edit. Currently, we only support the GRACE method. All you need to do is a single line of code, using the edit_key to revert your edit.

editor.rolllback('edit_key')

In EasyEdit, we default to using target_new as the edit_key

Evaluation

We specify the return metrics as dict format, including model prediction evaluations before and after editing. For each edit, it will include the following metrics:

  • rewrite_acc $\rightarrow$ Reliablilty
  • rephrase_acc $\rightarrow$ Generalization
  • locality $\rightarrow$ Locality
  • portablility $\rightarrow$ Portablility 
{
    "post": {
        "rewrite_acc": ,
        "rephrase_acc": ,
        "locality": {
            "YOUR_LOCALITY_KEY": ,
            //...
        },
        "portablility": {
            "YOUR_PORTABILITY_KEY": ,
            //...
        },
    },
    "pre": {
        "rewrite_acc": ,
        "rephrase_acc": ,
        "portablility": {
            "YOUR_PORTABILITY_KEY": ,
            //...
        },
    }
}
  • For evaluation for Reliablilty, you only need to provide the corresponding editing prompts and editing target_new.
  • For evaluation for Generalization, rephrase_prompts are required.
  • For evaluation for Locality and Portablility, you need to define the name of the corresponding metric, as well as prompts and ground_truth.

    • Note: the length needs to be equal to the edit prompts

Trainer

  • meta-learning based: MEND
  • memory-based routing: SERAC

For above editing methods, pre-training of corresponding meta-networks or classifiers is required. Therefore, in EasyEdit, we provide a unified framework for pretraining the relevant network structures. Take the training MEND for example:

  • Step 1 and Step 2 are the same as the example above, which involves selecting the appropriate editing model and editing method.

Step3: Provide the edit training set The currently supported and available datasets are: zsre and counterfact(Google Drive). Please place them in the "data" directory and initialize the dataset_class (ZsreDataset for zsre and CounterFactDataset for counterfact) to load the corresponding training set.

train_ds = ZsreDataset('./data/zsre_mend_train.json', config=training_hparams)
eval_ds = ZsreDataset('./data/zsre_mend_eval.json', config=training_hparams)

Step4: Combine them into a Trainer

trainer = EditTrainer(
    config=training_hparams,
    train_set=train_ds,
    val_set=eval_ds
)

Step5: Run and Edit Done! We can conduct Run and Evaluation.

trainer.run()
  • Run: The CHECKPOINT will be saved to the path results_dir.
  • Edit: Set the archive field in the hparams file to CHECKPOINT. EasyEdit will automatically load the corresponding pre-trained weights during the editing process(Go to edit).

Training Example

from easyeditor import EditTrainer, MENDTrainingHparams, ZsreDataset

training_hparams = MENDTrainingHparams.from_hparams('hparams/TRAINING/MEND/llama-7b.yaml')
train_ds = ZsreDataset('./data/zsre/zsre_mend_train.json', config=training_hparams)
eval_ds = ZsreDataset('./data/zsre/zsre_mend_eval.json', config=training_hparams)
trainer = EditTrainer(
    config=training_hparams,
    train_set=train_ds,
    val_set=eval_ds
)
trainer.run()

❗️❗️ Please note that if you wish to reproduce the results regarding Rome on Knowedi, ensure that fp16: False.

For the locality metric, we calculate the score based on the proportion of tokens that remain unchanged before and after editing. For example, if the output tokens before editing are [29, 234, 334] and after editing are [29, 234, 333], the locality score for this data would be 66.67. For the portability metric, we calculate it by taking the average of all sub-scores under the portability category.

TO DO In next version, we plan to:
  • Explore and integrate more robust editing methods, focusing on locality and portability metrics.
  • Provide a comprehensive evaluation suite for editing methods, including fact modification, fact erasure and hallucination erasure.
  • Provide a causal analysis component for analyzing knowledge storage mechanisms.
  • knowledge editing for other tasks(except factual editing), like personality editing, etc.

Meanwhile, we will offer long-term maintenance to fix bugs, solve issues and meet new requests. So if you have any problems, please put issues to us.
