预训练视觉变换器(ViTs)在医学图像分类中应用日益广泛,但在动态临床环境中修正其固有误判案例面临严峻挑战。传统微调方法存在灾难性遗忘问题,严重削弱已有诊断能力,威胁临床安全。为此,我们提出X-Edit(eXact, eXplicit, and eXplainable Editing),一种高效、理论严谨且可解释的零空间模型编辑框架。X-Edit将编辑过程从迭代梯度优化转变为闭式解析解。首先,通过因果追踪明确导致误判的关键层;随后,基于精选锚点集构建正交零空间投影矩阵。通过几何约束,使参数更新严格局限于该零空间,从而在数学上保证仅修正目标错误,不扰动已有诊断表征。在六个医学影像基准上的评估表明,X-Edit全面抑制灾难性遗忘,同时达到超过90%的编辑成功率。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Pre-trained Vision Transformers (ViTs) are increasingly deployed for medical image classification. However, correcting their inevitable failure cases in dynamic clinical scenarios poses a critical challenge. Conventional fine-tuning approaches inherently suffer from catastrophic forgetting, severely degrading previously acquired diagnostic capabilities. Such instability fundamentally compromises clinical safety. Addressing this vulnerability requires an active, controllable, and reliable intervention mechanism that is both theoretically grounded and inherently interpretable. To this end, we propose X-Edit (eXact, eXplicit, and eXplainable Editing), an efficient null-space model editing framework. X-Edit transitions the editing process from iterative gradient-based optimization to a theoretically grounded, closed-form solution. Specifically, we first explicitly localize the influential layers via causal tracing governing the erroneous prediction. Subsequently, we construct an orthogonal null-space projection matrix from a curated anchor set. By geometrically constraining the exact parameter update strictly within this null space, we provide mathematical guarantees that the intervention rectifies targeted errors without perturbing established diagnostic representations. Extensive evaluations on six medical imaging benchmarks demonstrate that X-Edit comprehensively suppresses catastrophic forgetting while achieving superior edit success rates. Our code is available at https://github.com/HenryLau7/X-Edit.
