New nearest-neighbor baselines challenge deep learning for MS/MS spectra fingerprint prediction

Researchers have developed new nearest-neighbor baselines for predicting molecular fingerprints from MS/MS spectra. These methods offer a strong alternative to current deep learning models, matching or even surpassing their performance. The study systematically compares various nearest-neighbor approaches, highlighting how different assumptions about available information at inference time impact prediction accuracy. The goal is to establish more rigorous benchmarks for evaluating progress in this field. AI

IMPACT Establishes new benchmarks for molecular fingerprint prediction, potentially guiding future AI research in cheminformatics.

    Nearest-neighbour baselines for fingerprint prediction from MS/MS spectra under different assumptions

    arXiv:2610.02249v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: It has recently been shown that nearest-neighbour retrieval provides a strong baseline for molecular fingerprint prediction from MS/MS spectra, with several variants matching or outperforming current deep learning models (Khoo and B…
