Study compares domain jargon handling in general-purpose vs specialist LLMs
A new arXiv preprint examines how well large language models handle terminology from highly technical fields, noting that general-purpose systems tend to lose accuracy outside everyday tasks. The authors compare general-purpose and domain-specialist models to probe what parametric knowledge of specialized terms each type retains. The work is cross-listed under computation and language and machine learning.
