- 适合关注跨领域迁移与人机协作的科研人员
我们提出人机协同发现系统(HACO),通过跨领域搜索与稀疏人类引导,实现科学算法发现。目标是从化学组成生成晶体结构,HACO在多个领域的生成模型中识别出视觉领域的掩码生成模型MaskGIT,作为晶体结构预测(CSP)的潜在框架。将该掩码形式转化为晶体结构的离散符号模型,再在稀疏高层人类目标指导下,引入晶格对称性符号、空间群分层采样以覆盖多晶型,并进行子区间坐标精修,构建出掩码生成晶体变压器(MaskGXT)。在MP-20多晶型划分数据集上,MaskGXT达到79.06%的match-everyone-to-reference(METRe)准确率,优于最强基线70.87%。在标准MP-20和MPTS-52 CSP基准测试中,也取得最佳匹配率。结果表明,在具备低成本、快速且对齐良好验证条件的领域,基于迁移引导的交互式人机共研AI可助力科学算法发现,识别可迁移建模原理并融合针对性的人类领域指导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We introduce Human-AI Co-discovery system (HACO) for scientific algorithm discovery through cross-domain search and sparse human steering. Starting from the goal of generating crystal structures from chemical compositions, HACO searched across generative modeling methodologies from multiple fields and identified MaskGIT, a masked generative model from vision, as a promising framework for crystal structure prediction (CSP). HACO instantiated this masked formulation as a discrete token model of crystal structure; guided by sparse high-level human objectives, it then added crystallographic symmetry tokens, space group stratified sampling for polymorph coverage, and sub-bin coordinate refinement, yielding the Masked Generative Crystal Transformer (MaskGXT). On the MP-20 polymorph split, MaskGXT reaches 79.06% match-everyone-to-reference (METRe) accuracy, compared with 70.87% for the strongest evaluated baseline. MaskGXT also attains the best match rate on standard MP-20 and MPTS-52 CSP benchmarks. These results provide evidence that, in domains offering cheap, fast, and well-aligned validation, transfer-guided interactive AI co-scientists can contribute to scientific algorithm discovery by identifying transferable modeling principles and combining them with targeted human domain guidance.
