A new study published on arXiv investigates the extent to which large language models (LLMs) memorize medical data. The research found that memorization is significantly more prevalent in LLMs adapted for medicine compared to those used in general domains. This memorization can be beneficial for retaining medical knowledge but also poses risks, such as the inadvertent reproduction of sensitive patient information and reduced model generalizability, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. The study analyzed various adaptation scenarios, including continued pre-training and fine-tuning on medical corpora and real-world clinical data from Yale New Haven Health System. AI
