  • 分两阶段处理笔记,区分确定与不确定内容
  • 在七种条件和三轮实验中避免误判不确定内容
  • 适合构建可信的科研AI协作系统

科学发现流程高度依赖实验笔记,其中研究人员记录观察结果、解释不确定性并规划后续实验。这些笔记包含不断演进的科学推理和作者对不确定性的认知,而非发表论文中的精炼结论,为人工智能深入参与科学探索提供了宝贵机会。然而,现有研究多聚焦论文、实验规程或结构化数据库,忽视了非正式实验笔记作为人工智能代理输入的价值。问题在于,笔记常混合已验证观察、试探性判断和可能的下一步实验,若信号混淆,AI可能将不确定判断误作确定结论或可执行指令。为此,我们提出Notes2Skills,一种两阶段框架,将实验笔记转化为可验证的科研技能,同时保留作者的置信度。在七个条件和三轮湿实验中,Notes2Skills是唯一既不将不确定内容误作指令,也不丢弃确定内容的配置。结果表明,置信度保留是连接实验笔记与可靠代理技能的关键,为更安全的AI科研合作者系统开辟了路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Scientific discovery workflows usually contain and rely heavily on lab notes, where researchers record observations, interpret uncertain results, and plan follow-up experiments. Such informative lab notes preserve evolving scientific reasoning and author uncertainty, rather than polished final results exhibited in publications, providing a valuable opportunity for AI to engage in scientific exploration at a more comprehensive and deeper level. However, most prior work on scientific text focuses on papers, protocols, or structured databases, leaving informal laboratory notes underexplored as inputs to AI agents for science. This gap matters because lab notes often intermingle validated observations, tentative judgments, and possible experimental next steps within the same passage. If these signals are conflated, an AI agent may mistake uncertain scientific judgments for confirmed conclusions or executable actions. To this end, we present Notes2Skills, a two-stage framework for turning lab notebooks into verifiable skills for scientific AI agents while preserving the author's certainty. Across seven conditions and three wet-lab sessions, Notes2Skills is the only configuration that neither mistakes uncertain notes for firm instructions nor discards firm ones. We show that certainty preservation is the missing piece between lab notebooks and reliable agent skills, opening a path toward safer AI co-scientist systems.
