Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that encompasses a rich body of medical theories, extensive clinical experiences, and a vast pharmacopoeia, which plays a significant role in medical practices. To promote the development of large language models (LLMs) for TCM, the CCKS 2024 challenge organized the TCMBench track, including TCM knowledge comprehension evaluation and TCM natural language inference tasks. In this paper, we present our instruction fine-tuning method for this track. We first constructed a rich training set by collecting existing Chinese medical exam datasets and TCM-related internet sources. We then designed various instructional prompts tailored to different tasks, enabling the model to fully exploit the knowledge acquired during fine-tuning to answer questions accurately and contextually. We also conducted extensive tests on different LLMs. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method, achieving the first place in this challenge.

摘要

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that encompasses a rich body of medical theories, extensive clinical experiences, and a vast pharmacopoeia, which plays a significant role in medical practices. To promote the development of large language models (LLMs) for TCM, the CCKS 2024 challenge organized the TCMBench track, including TCM knowledge comprehension evaluation and TCM natural language inference tasks. In this paper, we present our instruction fine-tuning method for this track. We first constructed a rich training set by collecting existing Chinese medical exam datasets and TCM-related internet sources. We then designed various instructional prompts tailored to different tasks, enabling the model to fully exploit the knowledge acquired during fine-tuning to answer questions accurately and contextually. We also conducted extensive tests on different LLMs. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method, achieving the first place in this challenge.
