Editing Conceptual Knowledge for Large Language Models

---

Dataset Paper (ConceptEdit) • Dataset Website • EasyEdit GitHub • Framework Paper (EasyEdit2) • Framework Website (EasyEdit2)

This repository contains the ConceptEdit dataset, which facilitates the evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) in open-domain natural language-driven molecule generation tasks. It is part of the EasyEdit framework, designed for plug-and-play adjustability in controlling LLM behaviors.

💡 Conceptual Knowledge Editing

Task Definition

Concept is a generalization of the world in the process of cognition, which represents the shared features and essential characteristics of a class of entities. Therefore, the endeavor of concept editing aims to modify the definition of concepts, thereby altering the behavior of LLMs when processing these concepts.

Evaluation

To analyze conceptual knowledge modification, we adopt the metrics for factual editing (the target is the concept $C$ rather than factual instance $t$).

• Reliability: the success rate of editing with a given editing description
• Generalization: the success rate of editing within the editing scope
• Locality: whether the model's output changes after editing for unrelated inputs

Concept Specific Evaluation Metrics

• Instance Change: capturing the intricacies of these instance-level changes
• Concept Consistency: the semantic similarity of generated concept definition

🚀 Sample Usage

You can load the ConceptEdit dataset using the EasyEdit framework as follows:

from easyeditor import ConceptEditDataset

# For example, to load the ConceptEdit dataset
# Assuming 'data/concept_data.json' is the path to your dataset file
concept_config = ConceptEditDataset.get_hparams()
concept_train_ds = ConceptEditDataset('./data/concept_data.json', config=concept_config)
concept_eval_ds = ConceptEditDataset('./data/concept_data.json', config=concept_config)

print(f"Loaded {len(concept_train_ds)} training samples.")
print(f"Loaded {len(concept_eval_ds)} evaluation samples.")
# You can inspect a sample:
# print(concept_train_ds[0])
