- 多智能体协同设计代码、评估结果并迭代优化
- 结合人类干预后在挑战赛中获第一名
- 适合需要快速构建推断流程的科研团队
我们提出一种基于智能体的科学数据分析参数推断流水线构建方法。该方法利用多智能体系统 Cmbagent(AI科学家 Denario 的分析系统),由专业智能体协作完成研究构思、代码编写与执行、结果评估及流水线迭代优化。以 FAIR Universe 弱引力透镜不确定性挑战赛为案例,在时间约束下聚焦于包含真实观测不确定性的宇宙学参数鲁棒推断。尽管完全自主探索初期未达专家水平,但引入人类干预后,该智能体驱动工作流成功获得挑战赛第一名。结果表明,半自主智能体系统可与甚至超越专家方案。我们详细描述了 Cmbagent 的自主与半自主探索流程。最终推断流水线采用参数高效卷积神经网络、基于已知参数网格的似然校准以及多种正则化技术。研究显示,智能体驱动的研究流程可为推断问题提供可扩展的快速构建框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present an agent-driven approach to the construction of parameter inference pipelines for scientific data analysis. Our method leverages a multi-agent system, Cmbagent (the analysis system of the AI scientist Denario), in which specialized agents collaborate to generate research ideas, write and execute code, evaluate results, and iteratively refine the overall pipeline. As a case study, we apply this approach to the FAIR Universe Weak Lensing Uncertainty Challenge, a competition under time constraints focused on robust cosmological parameter inference with realistic observational uncertainties. While the fully autonomous exploration initially did not reach expert-level performance, the integration of human intervention enabled our agent-driven workflow to achieve a first-place result in the challenge. This demonstrates that semi-autonomous agentic systems can compete with, and in some cases surpass, expert solutions. We describe our workflow in detail, including both the autonomous and semi-autonomous exploration by Cmbagent. Our final inference pipeline utilizes parameter-efficient convolutional neural networks, likelihood calibration over a known parameter grid, and multiple regularization techniques. Our results suggest that agent-driven research workflows can provide a scalable framework to rapidly explore and construct pipelines for inference problems.
