Anthropic Claude Science 智能体协作完成首张全天紫外地图:填补 GALEX 盲区并实现约 10% 预测偏差
Anthropic 的 Claude Science 平台通过协调多个 AI 智能体,首次完成了覆盖全天空的紫外线分布图。该系统整合了多任务空间数据并利用修复技术(inpainting)填补了 NASA GALEX 任务遗漏的亮星形成区,在测试中实现了平均约 10% 的预测偏差。这一成果展示了 AI 智能体在处理繁琐科研数据及重构缺失观测值方面的实际能力。

Anthropic's Claude Science just mapped the entire sky in ultraviolet light for the first time. The project is supposed to show how AI can take over tedious data work that researchers would otherwise never get around to. Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Brice Ménard describes the process on the Anthropic website.
UV light reveals dust lit up by starlight, things like clouds around young stars or rings left behind by stellar explosions. A complete UV map didn't exist until now because the ozone layer blocks UV light, so it can only be measured from space. NASA's GALEX mission covered about two-thirds of the sky but skipped bright star-forming regions.

Claude Science coordinates AI agents that downloaded data from multiple space missions, calibrated it, and merged it together. They filled missing areas using inpainting, a technique where a model learns from existing data to reconstruct gaps. In tests, predictions averaged about ten percent deviation from actual measurements.
The map is meant to serve as teaching material. Ménard suspects many scientists have been putting off similar projects that AI could now make possible.
