DynEdit: Dynamic Entropy-Guided Sequential Editing for Large Language Models

Knowledge editing aims to update outdated or incorrect knowledge in large language models without full retraining. Existing parameter-editing methods remain limited for long-sequence knowledge: single-point editors provide insufficient coverage for extended targets, while fixed chunk-based editors distribute editing effort uniformly across rigid predefined windows, failing to prioritize difficult, information-dense tokens. In this work, we show that token entropy is closely associated with both editing difficulty and semantic importance: high-entropy regions are harder to edit and often contain key factual content. Motivated by this observation, we propose DynEdit, a dynamic framework for long-sequence knowledge editing. DynEdit uses token-level entropy to guide non-uniform sliding, increasing the coverage of difficult high-entropy regions, and further applies entropy-guided token-level optimization to strengthen updates on information-dense tokens within each editing window. Experiments on three benchmarks and two backbone models show that DynEdit consistently outperforms competitive baselines across diverse long-form editing settings, achieving gains of up to +14.0 BLEU points on challenging paraphrase queries and near-saturated semantic scores on several diverse knowledge domains.
