How much do language models memorize?

Hacker News

We propose a new method for estimating how much a model ``knows'' about a datapoint and use it to measure the capacity of modern language models. Prior studies of language model memorization have struggled to disentangle memorization from generalization. We formally separate memorization into two components: textit{unintended memorization}, the information a model contains about a specific dataset, and textit{generalization}, the information a model contains about the true data-generatio
