Researchers have developed a novel method to quantify the memorization capacity of language models, distinguishing between unintended memorization and generalization. Their findings suggest that GPT-style models possess a capacity of approximately 3.6 bits per parameter. The study observed that models memorize data until their capacity is filled, after which generalization begins and memorization decreases. This research, involving hundreds of transformer models, establishes scaling laws that link model capacity and data size to membership inference. AI
