Contribution grade

Reference score135,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Extends weight editing to many associations by solving covariance-regularized batch updates and distributing desired hidden-state residuals across mediating transformer MLP layers.

Scientific scope

Extends weight editing to many associations by solving covariance-regularized batch updates and distributing desired hidden-state residuals across mediating transformer MLP layers. Single-layer least-squares derivation assumes the old memory optimum; practical covariance estimation and multi-layer residual spreading are approximations. Thousands-of-edit evaluations do not imply arbitrary sequential editing or preservation of all knowledge.

Evidence

The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
