The framework encodes Raman spectra as images through deep neural-network backbones, with EfficientNet-B3 producing the strongest 1536-dimensional embeddings, and adds a DDPM-based generative feature augmentation in a PCA-reduced latent space to address limited-data conditions.

In this study, we propose HyMLRaman, a hybrid Raman spectroscopy framework that combines deep spectral feature extraction, generative models, and classical machine-learning classifiers to identify six pharmaceutical compounds, including amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, ibuprofen, and paracetamol. Raman spectra are converted into spectral images and encoded with several deep neural-network backbones, among which EfficientNet-B3 yields the most effective representation. The resulting 1536-dimensional embeddings are then used to train downstream classifiers, including SVM, KNN, logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost, and ANN, using stratified 10-fold cross-validation. The hybrid EfficientNet-B3--SVM configuration achieves the strongest baseline performance, reaching 96.31% accuracy and a macro-F1 score of 96.36%, outperforming the standalone CNN baseline. To address limited-data conditions, a generative model, a DDPM-based feature augmentation, is introduced in a PCA-reduced EfficientNet-B3 latent space. The low-data ablation results show that DDPM augmentation provides selective benefits, particularly for KNN with reduced training fractions, and that its effect remains classifier-dependent. Finally, an application-level Raman Pharmaceutical Analyzer demonstrates the feasibility of embedding the trained model into an interactive Raman analysis workflow. These results suggest that HyMLRaman provides a practical and interpretable route for rapid Raman-based pharmaceutical screening.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hybrid-machine-learning-assisted-raman-spectroscopy-with-generative-feature-for", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.02224", "published_at": "2026-10-05 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-05 04:12:13.343409+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["machine-learning", "ai-research", "computer-vision", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["HyMLRaman", "EfficientNet-B3", "arXiv", "SVM", "KNN", "XGBoost", "DDPM", "Raman Pharmaceutical Analyzer"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hybrid-machine-learning-assisted-raman-spectroscopy-with-generative-feature-for", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hybrid-machine-learning-assisted-raman-spectroscopy-with-generative-feature-for.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hybrid-machine-learning-assisted-raman-spectroscopy-with-generative-feature-for.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hybrid-machine-learning-assisted-raman-spectroscopy-with-generative-feature-for.jsonld"}}
