Title: The Labyrinth and the Thread: Rethinking Regularizations in Sequential Knowledge Editing for Large Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.26670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential editing of structured knowledge in large language models allows targeted factual updates without retraining, yet existing methods often rely on complex regularization or constraint mechanisms whose necessity remains unclear. In this work, we systematically investigate the mechanisms underlying effective and stable sequential editing. Specifically, we first analyze the empirical success of AlphaEdit and establish, via a rigorous optimiz
