Recent work on model editing using Rank-One Model Editing (ROME), a popular
model editing method, has shown that there are certain facts that the algorithm
is unable to edit without breaking the model. Such edits have previously been
called disabling edits. These disabling edits cause immediate model collapse
and limits the use of ROME for sequential editing. In this paper, we make two
main contributions. Firstly, we show that model collapse with ROME only happens
when making edits using the CounterFact dataset and does not happen when using
the zsRE dataset. Secondly, we find that disabling edits are an artifact of the
original implementation of ROME. With this paper, we provide a more stable
implementation ROME, which we call r-ROME and show that we no longer observe
model collapse when making large scale sequential edits with ROME.

通过对模型编辑中的残疾编辑进行研究，作者发现残疾编辑会导致模型立即崩溃，限制了 Rank-One 模型编辑方法（ROME）的连续编辑的使用。在本文中，作者展示了模型编辑中的崩溃现象只会在使用 CounterFact 数据集进行编辑时出现，而在使用 zsRE 数据集时并不会出现。此外，作者发现残疾编辑是 ROME 原始实现的一个人为问题，通过提供了一个更稳定的 ROME 实现（称为 r-ROME），作者展示了使用 ROME 进行大规模连续编辑时不再观察到模型崩溃的现象。
