Researchers have developed MemSFT, a novel method to adapt large language models (LLMs) to specialized domains without sacrificing their general capabilities. MemSFT utilizes an external parametric memory that is trained to mimic a retriever, storing domain-specific knowledge. A learned router then dynamically combines the outputs of this memory and the LLM's backbone during generation. Evaluations across biology, Earth science, and law demonstrated that MemSFT significantly enhances domain performance while minimizing degradation in general tasks, and this memory can be reused across various LLM sizes.
