From Knowledge to Inference: Formalizing Specialized Public Health Reasoning on GlobalHealthAtlas
On the map: LLM reasoning → Clinical and biomedical applications
Abstract (arXiv)
Public health reasoning requires population level inference grounded in scientific evidence, expert consensus, and safety constraints. However, it remains underexplored as a structured machine learning problem with limited supervised signals and benchmarks. We introduce GlobalHealthAtlas, a large scale multilingual dataset of 280,210 instances spanning 15 public health domains and 17 languages. We further propose a large language model (LLM) assisted construction and quality control pipeline with retrieval, deduplication, evidence grounding checks, and label validation to improve consistency at scale. Finally, we present a domain aligned evaluator distilled from high confidence judgments of diverse LLMs to assess outputs along six dimensions: Accuracy, Reasoning, Completeness, Consensus Alignment, Terminology Norms, and Insightfulness. Together, these contributions enable reproducible training and evaluation of LLMs for safety critical public health reasoning beyond conventional QA benchmarks. We publicly release project codebase, evaluator, and model at:: https://github.com/Jan8217/GlobalHealthAtlas, https://huggingface.co/aerovane0/GlobalHealthAtlas_Public_Evaluator and https://huggingface.co/aerovane0/GlobalHealthAtlas_Public_Model
