让AI主动介入科研对话,提升生物医学协作效率
"Excuse me, may I say something..." CoLabScience, A Proactive AI Assistant for Biomedical Discovery and LLM-Expert Collaborations

- 用强化学习训练AI判断何时该主动发言
- 在模拟科研对话中干预准确率显著优于基线
- 适合需要智能助手的生物医学研究团队
将大语言模型(LLMs)融入科学工作流有望加速生物医学发现。然而,传统LLM仅在被提问时才响应,缺乏前瞻性与自主参与能力,限制了其在协作场景中的效能。本文提出CoLabScience,一种主动型LLM助手,通过及时、上下文感知的干预增强人机协同。核心方法PULI(正-未标记学习干预)采用强化学习目标,结合项目提案及长短期对话记忆,决定何时何地介入实时科研讨论。为支持研究,我们构建了BSDD(生物医学流式对话数据集),基于PubMed文章生成带干预点的模拟研究对话。实验表明,PULI在干预精度和协作任务效用上均显著优于现有基线,验证了主动型LLM作为智能科研助手的巨大潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into scientific workflows presents exciting opportunities to accelerate biomedical discovery. However, the reactive nature of LLMs, which respond only when prompted, limits their effectiveness in collaborative settings that demand foresight and autonomous engagement. In this study, we introduce CoLabScience, a proactive LLM assistant designed to enhance biomedical collaboration between AI systems and human experts through timely, context-aware interventions. At the core of our method is PULI (Positive-Unlabeled Learning-to-Intervene), a novel framework trained with a reinforcement learning objective to determine when and how to intervene in streaming scientific discussions, by leveraging the team's project proposal and long- and short-term conversational memory. To support this work, we introduce BSDD (Biomedical Streaming Dialogue Dataset), a new benchmark of simulated research discussion dialogues with intervention points derived from PubMed articles. Experimental results show that PULI significantly outperforms existing baselines in both intervention precision and collaborative task utility, highlighting the potential of proactive LLMs as intelligent scientific assistants.
