For a vector x 2 Rd and H [d], we denote vH to denote the vector that is equal to v on i 2 H, and zero otherwise. For a real-valued random variable X and m 2 N, we use kXkLm to denote (E|X|m)1/m. For a set S Rd and a function f, we also define the set function notation f(S) as {f(x)|x 2 S}. A.1 Finding a stable subset from a stable weighted subset For a set S on npoints, we define n, as the set of weights w 2 Rn such that wi 2 [0,1/((1)n]for all i 2 [n]and P i wi =1 . For a fixed vector µ 2 Rd that will be clear from context, a set of npoints S = {x1,...,x n}, and weights w 2 n, over S, we use w to denote P i wi(xi µ)(xi µ)>. The goal of this section is to show Proposition A.1, which states that if we have a weight w over S such that w (with respect to some vector µ) has bounded Xk norm proportional to 2 for some > 0, then there must exists some large subset S0 S that is stable with respect to µ and . Let S be a set of n points in Rd. Suppose that there exists a w 2 n, such that k wkXk B 2 for some vector µ. Then there exists a subset S0 S such that (i)|S0| (1 2)n and (ii) S0 is (,,k)-stable with respect to µ and, where = O( p B +1). Observe that k wkXk B 2 implies k w 2IkXk (B +1) 2 by the triangle inequality. In order to show Proposition A.1, we show Lemma A.2, which is a weakening of Proposition A.1 where we additionally assume that µw = P i wixi is close to µ, where µ is the vector we use to define w as well as the vector that we want to find a large sample subset S0 to be stable with respect to. To use Lemma A.2, we additionally show Proposition A.4, which states that k wkXk B 2 is enough to imply that µw is close to µ.

The swift advancement in Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) also presents significant challenges for effective knowledge editing. Current methods, including intrinsic knowledge editing and external knowledge resorting, each possess strengths and weaknesses, struggling to balance the desired properties of reliability, generality, and locality when applied to MLLMs. In this paper, we propose \textbf{UniKE}, a novel multimodal editing method that establishes a unified perspective and paradigm for intrinsic knowledge editing and external knowledge resorting. Both types of knowledge are conceptualized as vectorized key-value memories, with the corresponding editing processes resembling the assimilation and accommodation phases of human cognition, conducted at the same semantic levels. Within such a unified framework, we further promote knowledge collaboration by disentangling the knowledge representations into the semantic and truthfulness spaces. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our method, which ensures that the post-edit MLLM simultaneously maintains excellent reliability, generality, and locality.

We introduce a technique based on the singular vector canonical correlation analysis (SVCCA) for measuring the generality of neural network layers across a continuously-parametrized set of tasks. We illustrate this method by studying generality in neural networks trained to solve parametrized boundary value problems based on the Poisson partial differential equation. We find that the first hidden layers are general, and that they learn generalized coordinates over the input domain. Deeper layers are successively more specific.
