• Authors: Niek de Jonge, Justin J. J. van der Hooft, Daniel Probst,
• Abstract summary: We investigate two alternatives to the binning of mass spectra before down-stream machine learning tasks, namely, set-based and graph-based representations. Comparing the two proposed representations to train a set transformer and a graph neural network on a regression task, we show that they both perform substantially better than a multilayer perceptron trained on binned data.

• Abstract: Mass spectrometry, especially so-called tandem mass spectrometry, is commonly used to assess the chemical diversity of samples. The resulting mass fragmentation spectra are representations of molecules of which the structure may have not been determined. This poses the challenge of experimentally determining or computationally predicting molecular structures from mass spectra. An alternative option is to predict molecular properties or molecular similarity directly from spectra. Various methodologies have been proposed to embed mass spectra for further use in machine learning tasks. However, these methodologies require preprocessing of the spectra, which often includes binning or sub-sampling peaks with the main reasoning of creating uniform vector sizes and removing noise. Here, we investigate two alternatives to the binning of mass spectra before down-stream machine learning tasks, namely, set-based and graph-based representations. Comparing the two proposed representations to train a set transformer and a graph neural network on a regression task, respectively, we show that they both perform substantially better than a multilayer perceptron trained on binned data.

  Extended Vision techniques often pose a challenge in their interpretation. The huge dimensionality of data cube spectra poses a complex task in its statistical interpretation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying unsupervised clustering methods in encoded space. A statistical dimensional reduction is performed by an ad hoc trained (Variational) AutoEncoder, while the clustering process is performed by a (learnable) iterative K-Means clustering algorithm.
