  • 用对话式AI代理将自然语言问题转为分析计划,实现人机协作。
  • 在超算上快速完成视觉变换器分割与性状提取,分析速度提升至秒级。
  • 支持安全隔离通信与全程溯源,适合科研人员与高通量表型平台使用。

高通量植物表型技术生成图像数据的速度远超科学家的分析能力。在橡树岭国家实验室先进植物表型实验室(APPL),自动化设备每日可跨多模态遥感技术拍摄数百株植物;但性状提取与解读仍依赖人工、专家经验且为事后操作,分析成为制约科学发现的关键瓶颈。我们提出一个端到端的智能体(agentic)AI框架,将该设施从数据工厂转变为交互式自主发现平台,科学家与AI代理协同加速洞察。对话式共科学家代理将自然语言问题转化为结构化分析计划,无头计算代理在Frontier百亿亿次超级计算机上执行视觉变换器分割与性状提取。两个代理运行于独立的安全与资源域,通过安全的令牌认证流通道通信,解决了云原生智能体框架忽视的联邦、数据迁移与溯源问题,确保每项交互全程可追溯。该框架将原本需数日至数周的分析流程,转变为秒级响应的互动循环,支持智能体对结果推理、推荐后续分析并回应追问。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

High-throughput plant phenotyping now generates image derived datasets far faster than scientists can analyze them. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory (APPL), automated stations image hundreds of plants daily across multiple remote sensing modalities; yet, trait extraction and interpretation remain manual, expert-bound, and strictly post-hoc, making analysis, not acquisition, the binding constraint on discovery. We present an end-to-end agentic AI framework that turns the facility from a data factory into an interactive autonomous, discovery platform, where scientists partner with AI agents to accelerate time to insight. A conversational Co-Scientist Agent translates a scientist's natural-language question into a structured analysis plan, and a headless Compute Agent dispatches Vision Transformer segmentation and trait extraction on the Frontier exascale supercomputer. The two agents run in separate security and resource domains and communicate over a secure, token-authenticated streaming channel, a design that accounts for the federation, data-movement, and provenance realities cloud-native agentic frameworks ignore, ensuring end-to-end provenance is captured for every interaction. The framework turns a days- to weeks-long analysis process into an interactive loop where agents reason over results, recommend next analyses, and respond to follow-up questions in seconds.
