From Knowledge to Inference: Formalizing Specialized Public Health Reasoning on GlobalHealthAtlas

Zhaokun Yan, Shan Xu, Wuzheng Dong et al.

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

Rethinking Traffic Matrix Completion: Estimate the Process, Not the Entries

Xiyuan Liu, Zihao Wang, Guanzuo Liu et al.

Traffic matrix measurement is fundamental for datacenter operations, but obtaining complete traffic matrices at scale remains challenging due to the prohibitive cost of global fine-grained measurement and partial observations resulting from network faults. Although existing matrix completion methods (reduce cost) achieve satisfactory performance in specific scenarios, their reliance on restrictive assumptions or black-box mappings results in a lack of interpretability and an inability to characterize uncertainty. In this paper, we propose Utimac, an uncertainty-aware traffic matrix completion for data center networks. Our analysis shows that, within a locally stationary window, log-domain traffic can be decomposed into a principal statistical component and a sparse deviation component. Based on this insight, we formulate traffic matrix completion as a parameter inference problem: multiple partially observed frames within a window are used to infer shared parameters and recover missing entries. To avoid the intractability and boundary degeneracy of the original integral-form marginal likelihood, we construct a regularized surrogate objective and solve the resulting joint optimization problem with block coordinate descent. Utimac consistently outperforms all baselines on data center networks datasets in both overall and burst scenarios, with its advantage becoming more pronounced as observations grow sparser.
