A Traditional Chinese Medicine language model, inspired by the wisdom of the eminent representative of ancient Chinese medical scholars, Zhang Zhongjing.
This model aims to illuminate the profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern technology, and providing a reliable and professional tool for the medical and legal fields. However, all generated results are for reference only and should be provided by experienced professionals for diagnosis and treatment results and suggestions.
Instruction Data Construction
While many works such as Alpaca, Belle, etc., are based on the self-instruction approach which effectively harnesses the knowledge of large language models to generate diverse and creative instructions, this approach may lead to noise in instruction data, thereby affecting the accuracy of the model in fields where professional knowledge has a low tolerance for errors, such as medical and legal scenarios. Therefore, how to quickly invoke the OpenAI API without sacrificing the professionalism of instruction data has become an important research direction for instruction data construction and annotation scenarios. Here, we will briefly describe our preliminary experimental exploration.
1.1 Multi-task Therapeutic Behavior Decomposition Instruction Construction Strategy
Human memory and understanding require the construction of various scenarios and stories to implicitly encode knowledge information. The clarity of memory depends on the duration and richness of the learning process. Interleaved learning, spaced practice, and diversified learning can enhance the consolidation of knowledge, thereby forming a deep understanding of domain knowledge. Our approach is to learn from the process of human memory knowledge, use professional tables, leverage the language representation capabilities of large language models, strictly set specific prompt templates, so that the model can generate 16 scenarios based on the table data of Chinese medicine gynecology prescriptions, including patient therapeutic story, diagnostic analysis, diagnosis treatment expected result, formula function, interactive story, patient therapeutic story, narrative medicine, tongue & pulse, therapeutic template making, critical thinking, follow up, prescription, herb dosage, case study, real-world problem, disease mechanism, etc., to promote the model's reasoning ability for prescription data and diagnostic thinking logic.
1.2 Regular Instruction Data Construction Strategy
In addition, we have also added instructions based on the content of Chinese medicine ancient books, noun explanations, symptom synonyms, antonyms, syndromes, symptoms, treatment methods, etc. In order to form a control experiment, we only use one instruction template to represent data for this part, and the number of this part of the data is 80,000, which is significantly more than the number of instructions constructed by the above strategy. The following is the specific number of instructions and tokens information.
