Researchers have developed a new framework for selective prediction in molecular structure retrieval from mass spectra, aiming to improve the trustworthiness of machine learning predictions in critical applications. The framework, evaluated on the MassSpecGym benchmark, separates low-risk predictions from lower-confidence ones by analyzing uncertainty at input, fingerprint, and retrieval levels. The study found that retrieval-level uncertainty offers the strongest criterion for rejecting unreliable predictions, while first-order confidence measures provide an efficient baseline. This approach allows practitioners to specify an acceptable error rate and obtain a subset of annotations that meet this constraint with high probability. AI
