Abstract:
The integration of large language model （LLM） and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） promotes the informatization of TCM，and also provides a new direction for the inheritance and innovation of TCM in the new era. Based on the research background of LLM，the development process of LLM based on the Transformer architecture is summarized，and the research progress of LLM in TCM is reviewed. The main process of constructing TCM LLMs and the key techniques used by researchers during model development are summarized. Based on the related literature， the main application scenarios of TCM LLMs and the research explorations conducted by TCM researchers using LLMs are outlined. Meanwhile，the current challenges faced in the development of TCM LLMs are analyzed. Further improvements are urgently needed in the construction of high-quality data，the evaluation methodology of TCM LLMs，the interpretability of the model， multimodal fusion of TCM LLMs， and the development of TCM prescription recommendation models. Looking forward to the future development of LLM in TCM，it is expected to provide a reference for the deeper integration of LLMs and TCM，and facilitate the modernization of TCM.
