MS2MetGAN: Latent-space adversarial training for metabolite-spectrum matching in MS/MS database search
Database search is a widely used approach for identifying metabolites from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS). In this strategy, an experimental spectrum is matched against a user-specified database of candidate metabolites, and candidates are ranked such that true metabolite-spectrum matches receive the highest scores. Machine-learning methods have been widely incorporated into database-search-based identification tools and have substantially improved performance. To further improve identification accuracy, we propose a new framework for generating negative training samples. The framework first uses autoencoders to learn latent representations of metabolite structures and MS/MS spectra, thereby recasting metabolite-spectrum matching as matching between latent vectors. It then uses a GAN to generate latent vectors of decoy metabolites and constructs decoy metabolite-spectrum matches as negative samples for training. Experimental results show that our tool, MS2MetGAN, achieves better overall performance than existing metabolite identification methods.

Robust Learning on Noisy Graphs via Latent Space Constraints with External Knowledge
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often struggle with noisy edges. We propose Latent Space Constrained Graph Neural Networks (LSC-GNN) to incorporate external "clean" links and guide embeddings of a noisy target graph. We tra…
Probabilistic Approach for Evaluating Metabolite Sample Integrity
The success of metabolomics studies depends upon the "fitness" of each biological sample used for analysis: it is critical that metabolite levels reported for a biological sample represent an accurate snapshot of the stu…
