DOC 2.0 API + PaLM/ChatGPT = Weekly Disease Summarization: Single Or Three-Part Prompts?

Following on our experiments with combining the DOC 2.0 API and LLMs like PaLM or ChatGPT to summarize global headlines, what would it look like to run a search for all coverage containing the word "outbreak" (excluding Covid coverage) over the past week and generating a global country-level summary? Such summarization requires three tasks: filtering (removing headlines that aren't truly about an outbreak such as an "outbreak" of violence), translation (translating from the DOC 2.0 API's 65 different languages into English) and summarization (weaving the resulting list of translated relevant headlines into a cohesive narrative). Here we examine two different workflows: combine all three steps into a single prompt (the cheapest and simplest) or separate into three separate tasks and run each individually (this increases the cost 3x but allows the LLM to focus individually on each task, which can often yield improved results). For the latter we test filtering->translation->summarization vs translation->filtering->summarization pipelines to see if the task ordering makes a difference. The end result is that at least with PaLM and ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), the combined single-pass prompt yields the best and most comprehensive results, but at a cost of a higher false positive rate of non-disease-related stories that can be easily skipped by downstream analysts.

Let's use a simple query of "outbreak -covid". This isn't an ideal query in that it will return unrelated coverage like "outbreak of violence", but offers a trivial starting point for a quick demo. Let's use a simple prompt to summarize by country in English:

Summarize the following list of news article headlines that are written in different languages into a detailed summary in English, making sure to incorporate all of the detail from the different headlines in a single summary. Ignore headlines that do not relate to a disease outbreak. Break the summary down by country.

ChatGPT:

In various countries, there are several headlines related to disease outbreaks, with a focus on E.coli and dengue outbreaks:

**Canada (Calgary):**
– An E.coli outbreak in Calgary daycares has affected dozens of children and may lead to the closure of these facilities for another week. The outbreak is linked to at least 96 lab-confirmed cases, with 22 children hospitalized.

**Vietnam (Hà Nội):**
– Hà Nội has seen a significant increase in dengue fever cases, with over 1,000 cases reported in a week. Additionally, there is a rising number of cases of hemorrhagic fever in the districts of Đống Đa and Cầu Giấy.

**Namibia:**

**Poland:**

**Lebanon:**
– There have been reports of gunfire and shell explosions in the Ein al-Hilweh camp in Lebanon, although it's not directly related to a disease outbreak.

**Spain (Cáceres):**
– The search for the source of a Legionella outbreak in Cáceres has not yielded results yet.

These headlines provide insights into various disease outbreaks, including E.coli and dengue fever, along with other unrelated events in different countries.

Note that both of these summaries include non-disease related coverage, despite our prompt requesting that non-outbreak headlines be ignored. This is a classic example of non-conformance in which models struggle when presented with multiple tasks to perform in a single pass. Instead, let's do a preprocessing step where we perform filtering and translation:

For each of the news headlines below, translate it into English if it relates to a disease outbreak. If it does not relate to a disease outbreak, delete it.

Strangely, ChatGPT excludes a number of disease-related headlines that PaLM correctly includes. Let's try breaking things down even further into singular tasks. First we'll perform filtering:

For each of the news headlines below, decide whether it mentions a disease outbreak. If it does not relate to a disease outbreak, delete it.

Now we'll use the following prompt to perform filtering. For PaLM we'll hand it the translations it generated above and do the same for ChatGPT:

For each of the news headlines below, decide whether it mentions a disease outbreak. If it does not relate to a disease outbreak, delete it.

These headlines relate to disease outbreaks or epidemics. The rest of the headlines do not mention a disease outbreak.

Interestingly, reversing the process (translation->filtering vs filtering->translation) does not improve the ChatGPT results, whereas it yields an enormous improvement in PaLM's results. However, for PaLM the substantial increase in recall also yields a much higher false positive rate.

Now let's try our final summarization prompt using just the outputs above:

PaLM:

**Namibia**
Namibia has conducted an After-Action Review (AAR) for Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF).

**Vietnam**
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has seen a recent surge in dengue fever cases, particularly in the districts of Dong Da and Cau Giay. In just one week, the city recorded more than 1,000 new cases, bringing the total number of cases in the city to over 10,000. The dengue fever epidemic in Hanoi is considered to be "complicated" and is causing concern among health officials.

**Canada**
In Calgary, Canada, an E.coli outbreak linked to several daycare centers continues to grow, with the number of confirmed cases rising to 96. The outbreak has resulted in dozens of children being hospitalized, and some patients are showing severe symptoms. The affected daycare centers have been shut down for a week and could remain closed for another week. The Alberta Premier has asked for a full assessment of the outbreak, and health officials are working to contain the spread of the infection.

**India**
In Dehradun, India, an outbreak of dengue fever has prompted urgent action from health officials. The city has seen a significant increase in cases, and measures are being taken to control the spread of the disease.

**Dominican Republic**
The Dominican Republic is currently experiencing an epidemic outbreak of dengue fever, with a significant increase in cases reported across the country.

**Italy**
In southern Italy, experts have warned of the potential threat posed by a supervolcano, which could impact millions of people in the region.

**Poland**
In southeast Poland, an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease has been on the decline, with only one new case reported recently.

ChatGPT:

In Hanoi, Vietnam, there is a concerning surge in Dengue Fever cases, particularly in the Dong Da and Cau Giay districts. The outbreak has been severe, with over 1,000 cases recorded in just one week. In another part of the world, the Dominican Republic is also grappling with an epidemic Dengue outbreak. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, the situation is dire, as it faces its worst Dengue outbreak on record, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Moving to Canada, Calgary is dealing with a growing E.coli outbreak in daycare facilities. The outbreak has prompted Alberta's Premier to express condolences to the affected patients. In the same province, E.coli cases continue to rise.

In India, the city of Dehradun in Uttarakhand is witnessing a sweeping Dengue outbreak, necessitating urgent action. In Southeast Poland, a Legionnaire Disease outbreak appears to be on the decline, with only one new case reported.

Lastly, there's an ongoing investigation into the source of the Legionella outbreak in Caceres, Spain, with no conclusive results thus far. In the midst of these outbreaks, there's a proactive effort to educate the public on preventing Dengue Fever when living in affected areas.

Looking more closely at the results above, the results from our multi-step single-pass run (filter, translate and summarize all at once) actually yields better or at least similar results to our three-step workflow and costs 1/3 of the amount.
