Generating Molecular Fragmentation Graphs with Autoregressive Neural Networks by Goldman, Samuel, Li, Janet, Coley, Connor W

“…Cheminformatic spectrum prediction strategies use a "bond-breaking" framework to iteratively simulate mass spectrum fragmentations, but these methods are (a) slow due to the need to exhaustively and combinatorially break molecules and (b) inaccurate as they often rely upon heuristics to predict the intensity of each resulting fragment; neural network alternatives mitigate computational cost but are black-box and not inherently more accurate. …”
