Researchers have developed MemSFT, a novel method to adapt large language models (LLMs) to specialized domains without sacrificing their general capabilities. MemSFT uses an external parametric memory that stores domain-specific knowledge, preventing catastrophic forgetting often seen with traditional fine-tuning. This memory can be reused across different LLM sizes and is dynamically fused with the backbone model's output during generation. Evaluations on biology, geoscience, and law datasets demonstrated that MemSFT significantly improves domain performance while maintaining general task proficiency, unlike standard fine-tuning which leads to severe degradation.
