Intelligent Understanding of Large Language Models in Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on Prompt Engineering Framework
It addresses the challenge of adapting AI to specialized domains like TCM for digitalization and personalized medicine, but is incremental as it builds on existing prompt engineering methods.
This paper tackled the problem of applying large language models to Traditional Chinese Medicine by proposing the TCM-Prompt framework, which improved performance on tasks like disease classification and herbal medicine recommendation compared to baselines.
This paper explores the application of prompt engineering to enhance the performance of large language models (LLMs) in the domain of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We propose TCM-Prompt, a framework that integrates various pre-trained language models (PLMs), templates, tokenization, and verbalization methods, allowing researchers to easily construct and fine-tune models for specific TCM-related tasks. We conducted experiments on disease classification, syndrome identification, herbal medicine recommendation, and general NLP tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness and superiority of our approach compared to baseline methods. Our findings suggest that prompt engineering is a promising technique for improving the performance of LLMs in specialized domains like TCM, with potential applications in digitalization, modernization, and personalized medicine.
