LLM agents enhance HFMD forecasting with auditable, context-aware predictions

A new research paper introduces a two-agent neuro-symbolic framework designed for more auditable and context-aware forecasting of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD). This system integrates an LLM-based Event Interpreter to process diverse signals like school schedules and government reports, generating a transmission-impact signal. This signal is then used by a Forecast Generator, which combines it with historical data to produce probabilistic predictions and concise rationales, outperforming traditional and foundation models in accuracy and interpretability. AI

IMPACT This framework demonstrates how LLM agents can improve the interpretability and accuracy of time-series forecasting for public health applications.

    Auditable Context-Aware HFMD Forecasting with Structured LLM Agents

    arXiv:2511.23276v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Effective HFMD surveillance requires forecasts capturing both time-series patterns and contextual drivers such as school calendars, weather, and policy or surveillance reports. In clinical settings, forecasts must be trusted and…
