Implication

Qualitative study reveals Chinese-trained models outperform English models on Chinese medical exams, indicating training data differences drive benchmark performance.

Key Points

To evaluate and contrast the clinical benchmark performance of large language models trained predominantly on English corpora versus Chinese corpora within the Chinese National Medical Licensing Examination.
Assessed performance differences between Chinese-centric models and English-trained models, including ChatGPT, on Chinese National Medical Licensing Examination questions.
Implemented a cross-verification evaluation strategy using multiple distinct large language models to assess diagnostic accuracy.
Models trained on Chinese corpora outperformed English-trained systems, although both groups demonstrated capable baseline performance on the examination.
Discrepancies in model efficacy arose primarily from variations in pretraining corpus data rather than translation or communication difficulties.
Cross-verification across multiple distinct models produced superior examination accuracy compared to single-model assessments.
