PASTA: A Paraphrasing And Self-Training Approach for Knowledge Updating in LLMs

Knowledge updating in pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) remains an important challenge. While continual training provides a potential avenue for knowledge updating, it continues to present substantial technical difficulties. Furthermore, LLMs often struggle with accurately answering questions about specific factual information, such as news articles - a capability limitation widely recognized in the research community. This paper proposes PASTA, a simple yet powerful framework for integrating detailed factual information from news articles as new knowledge into LLMs, with the primary goal of building specialized models that accurately answer questions about this knowledge. Our framework combines data augmentation, question-answering generation, and a novel self-learning DPO process that simultaneously enables knowledge overwriting and hallucination suppression. We provide insights into effective knowledge updating through systematic analysis of learning parameters and data configurations. In our experimental evaluation with web articles published after the base model's knowledge cutoff, PASTA achieved remarkable improvement from 0.02 to 0.82 accuracy while maintaining general language capabilities, demonstrating its effectiveness for creating domain-specialized LLMs.
