Researchers have developed a new method called Medical Token-Pair Encoding (MedTPE) to efficiently compress long electronic health record sequences for large language models. This technique merges frequently occurring medical token pairs into single composite tokens, achieving lossless compression without adding computational overhead or sacrificing predictive accuracy. MedTPE has demonstrated significant reductions in input token length and inference latency across various clinical prediction tasks and LLMs, while also showing robustness and generalizability to other domains and languages.
