解决质谱生成中指纹不准确导致的结构错误问题,提升真实场景下的生成可靠性。
CoRe-Gen: Robust Spectrum-to-Structure Generation under Imperfect Fingerprint Conditions

- 通过合成质谱预训练编码器,增强中间指纹预测的鲁棒性。
- 在解码器训练中模拟噪声指纹,使模型适应实际部署中的偏差。
- 结合自回归解码与化学约束,有效减少长尾结构的生成误差。
从串联质谱(MS/MS)进行分子结构解析仍具挑战性,尤其在数据库未覆盖的去新生成场景。现有方法通常分两步:先预测质谱指纹,再解码为结构,利用大规模分子语料库。但部署时解码器依赖预测指纹而非理想指纹,引入结构性误差并传播至生成结果。这导致训练与部署条件严重不匹配,尤其对长尾子结构影响显著。本文提出CoRe-Gen,显式应对该差距:通过合成质谱预训练编码器优化中间表示;在解码器训练中引入频率感知的指纹扰动,模拟部署噪声;采用结构感知自回归解码,结合组合型SELFIES表示、辅助结构监督和轻量化学约束,缓解残余误差。在标准基准测试中,CoRe-Gen在NPLIB1上达到19.54%的Top-1和29.92%的Top-10精确匹配准确率,刷新当前最佳表现,同时在更具挑战的MassSpecGym上保持竞争力。重要的是,其维持自回归解码的高效性,为现实条件下稳健的谱图到结构生成提供了实用且可扩展的方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Molecular structure elucidation from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) remains challenging, particularly for de novo generation beyond database coverage. A common approach decomposes the task into spectrum-to-fingerprint prediction followed by fingerprint-to-structure decoding, enabling the use of large-scale molecular corpora. However, at deployment, the decoder relies on predicted rather than oracle fingerprints, introducing structured errors that propagate into generation. This results in a fundamental condition mismatch, where models trained on clean inputs must operate under noisy, biased predictions, especially for long-tail substructures. We present CoRe-Gen that explicitly addresses this gap. CoRe-Gen improves the intermediate condition via synthetic-spectrum pretraining of the encoder, matches deployment-time noise through frequency-aware fingerprint corruption during decoder training, and mitigates residual errors using structure-aware autoregressive decoding with compositional SELFIES representations, auxiliary structural supervision, and lightweight chemical constraints. Experiments on standard benchmarks show that CoRe-Gen establishes a new state of the art on NPLIB1, achieving 19.54\% Top-1 and 29.92\% Top-10 exact-match accuracy, while remaining competitive on the more challenging MassSpecGym benchmark. Importantly, CoRe-Gen preserves the efficiency advantages of autoregressive decoding, providing a practical and scalable solution for robust spectrum-to-structure generation under realistic conditions.
