Recite, Reconstruct, Recollect: Memorization in LMs as a Multifaceted Phenomenon

USVSN Sai Prashanth, Alvin Deng, Kyle O'Brien +9

Memorization in language models is typically treated as a homogenous phenomenon, neglecting the specifics of the memorized data. We instead model memorization as the effect of a se…
