    abstract = "Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized language processing and understanding, yet their performance is hampered by inaccuracies and outdated information. Model editing techniques offer a solution but face two key challenges: **(I)** Most methods inject knowledge by constructing rigid loss, which leads to poor compatibility when dealing with higher-order multi-hop problems. **(II)** Locate-then-edit vein, by altering pre-trained parameters, inevitably affect normal knowledge and even face the catastrophic forgetting. In this paper, we introduce **KGMET**, a framework that constructs knowledge graphs using available information to guide the direction of knowledge editing, enabling **consistent**, **aligned**, and **stable** information during **large-scale** editing scenario. Furthermore, *KGMET* goes beyond this by employing orthogonal constraints to block the interference of irrelevant information, ensuring the updates are both controllable and generalizable. Experiments on Multi-Conterfact, ZsRE, and MQuAKE datasets using *Llama-3-8B*, *GPT-J-6B*, and *GPT-2-XL* models showcase improvements over state-of-the-art methods, with $\uparrow 5\%-17\%$ in multi-hop tasks while remaining generalizable (at least $\uparrow 20\%$ in fluency). Our code is available on Github."
