Moir: Let the Model Direct Its Own Story for Robust Cross-Domain Knowledge Editing
Short summary
Moir addresses the problem that knowledge editing in LLMs degrades reasoning capabilities like math and coding while preserving encyclopedic recall. It traces this to distributional mismatch between reference corpora and the model's post-training operative distribution. Moir estimates preservation covariance directly from the model's own decoding distribution, requiring no external data. On Qwen3-8B after 20K batch edits, it retains 79.9% GSM8K accuracy versus 10.9% with the Wikipedia baseline.
