Some scientists have ‘magic hands’ in the lab. This AI is learning why.有些科学家在实验室里拥有“神奇之手”。这款人工智能正在学习其中的原因。
Even the most adept researchers may not know exactly what they do to get successful results. An A.I. model is trying to figure it out by watching every move.

On a recent afternoon, scientists buzzed around a lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, performing experiments. Their equipment was standard: a lab hood for working with dangerous chemicals, an incubator for growing cells. Their procedures were identical to those in biology labs everywhere.
A closer look revealed some oddities, though. Along with lab coats and gloves, most of the scientists wore miniature cameras on headbands. Three additional cameras peered down at each work station from a shelf.

摄像机记录了生物科技初创公司Transfyr的实习生拉贾拉詹·帕尔蒂班(Rajarajan Parthiban)在位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的非营利科技孵化器“引擎”(The Engine)中处理样本的场景。这些样本将用于训练人工智能模型,以识别实验过程中发生的真实情况。——安·赫尔墨斯/《纽约时报》
在一个午后,马萨诸塞州剑桥市的一间实验室里,科学家们忙碌地进行着各种实验。他们的设备都很标准:用于操作危险化学品的通风橱,以及用于培养细胞的培养箱。他们的实验步骤也与世界各地生物实验室的流程完全相同。
仔细观察后发现了一些奇怪之处。除了实验服和手套,大多数科学家头上都戴着微型摄像头。另外三个摄像头则从架子上俯视着每个工作站。
