Infrared Spectra Prediction for Functional Group Region Utilizing a Machine Learning Approach With Structural Neighboring Mechanism

Chengchun Liu, Ruqiang Zou, and Fanyang Mo

A functional-group-centered learning strategy that uses local structural context to improve the accuracy, robustness, and interpretability of infrared-spectrum prediction.

01 / Problem

Problem

A functional group’s infrared response depends not only on its identity but also on the surrounding molecular environment, making context-aware prediction important.

02 / Approach

Approach

The method represents the structural neighborhood around a target functional group and uses that local chemical context in a machine-learning prediction workflow.

03 / Why it matters

Why it matters

Centering the representation on chemically meaningful neighborhoods connects spectral prediction more directly to the structural context chemists use to interpret IR signals.
