How it works

MSAlign retrieves candidate molecules from tandem mass spectra by aligning pretrained molecular and spectral representations. Frozen DreaMS and ChemBERTa encoders connected by lightweight MLP projections trained with a candidate-based contrastive objective. The documented inputs are MS/MS spectrum and a set of candidate molecular structures. The output consists of candidate-molecule retrieval scores in a shared representation space.
