为天文望远镜调度中的AI决策设计可验证、可追溯的框架,提升可靠性与执行成功率。
A Multi-Level Validation and Traceability Framework for AI-Generated Telescope Scheduling Decisions

- 构建多层级验证机制,确保决策数据引用一致、逻辑自洽、符合观测约束。
- 通过原子推理单元和依赖关系,将调度决策表示为可追踪的推理链,支持错误定位。
- 在复杂场景中显著减少瞬态机会丢失,适合高可靠性天文观测任务应用。
随着AI逐步引入望远镜调度,其在处理多约束复杂问题上展现优势,但输出常存在数据引用不一致、推理错误和不可执行决策,限制了在高可靠性观测任务中的应用。本文提出一种多层级验证与可追溯推理框架,在执行前对AI生成决策进行系统性可靠性验证,并显式呈现推理过程以支持可追溯决策。该框架整合数据引用验证、逻辑一致性检查及观测与仪器约束验证,过滤并修正无效决策。同时引入原子推理单元及其依赖关系,将调度决策表示为相互关联的推理步骤序列,支持错误定位与事后分析。实验表明,该框架提升了AI调度的可执行性与可靠性,减少了瞬态机会损失。反馈修正与结构化推理验证显著增强了修复和阻断错误决策的能力,尤其在复杂场景中表现突出。相较于纯AI方法,该框架在保持灵活性的同时大幅提升可靠性和可执行性,为高可靠性天文观测调度中应用AI提供了可行且可验证的路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the gradual introduction of AI into telescope scheduling, AI-based decision-making has shown advantages in handling complex multi-constraint problems. However, its outputs often suffer from inconsistent data references, reasoning errors, and non-executable decisions, limiting applicability in high-reliability observational tasks. In this work, we propose a multi-level validation and traceable reasoning framework that performs systematic reliability verification of AI-generated decisions prior to execution, and enables explicit representation of the reasoning process to support traceable decision-making. The framework integrates data reference validation, logical consistency checks, and observational and instrumental constraint verification to filter and correct invalid decisions. It also introduces atomic reasoning units and their dependency relationships, representing scheduling decisions as a sequence of interconnected reasoning steps that support error localization and post hoc analysis. Experiments show that the framework improves executability and reliability of AI scheduling and reduces loss of transient opportunities. In particular, feedback correction and structured validation of reasoning steps enhance the ability to repair and block erroneous decisions, especially in complex scenarios. Compared with pure AI methods, the framework-enhanced approach maintains flexibility while substantially improving reliability and executability. These results demonstrate a feasible and verifiable pathway for applying AI to high-reliability astronomical observation scheduling.
