Recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift with the integration of deep learning, which excels in automatically extracting intricate patterns from raw spectral data, bypassing traditional preprocessing steps. This synergy has significantly enhanced the precision and speed of applications ranging from material science to biomedical diagnostics. This review comprehensively explores the transformative impact of deep learning on vibrational spectroscopy modeling, emphasizing its superiority over traditional machine learning approaches. However, the interplay between vibrational spectroscopy and deep learning still presents significant challenges, including the demand for massive labeled datasets, the risk of overfitting, particularly with limited samples, and the inherently black-box nature of deep learning models. To address these challenges, this review highlights recent breakthroughs that leverage the unique synergy between the two fields. For instance, transfer learning enables knowledge transfer across spectral domains, mitigating the need for extensive labeled data. Generative adversarial networks synthetically expand datasets by capturing the complex patterns inherent in vibrational spectra. Physics-informed neural networks integrate spectroscopic principles directly into model architectures, bridging the gap between physical insights and data-driven approaches. Additionally, enhancing model interpretability through techniques like attention mechanisms and saliency mapping is critical for trustworthy deployment, especially in high-stakes applications where domain-specific insights from vibrational spectroscopy can guide and validate model predictions. This review not only encapsulates these advancements but also distills best practices for model development, emphasizing experimental design tailored to spectral data, hyperparameter tuning for robustness, and validation protocols that ensure reliability in cheminformatics. This review also provides an overview of the latest research and applications in vibrational spectroscopy over the past 2 years and offers insights into future directions for spectroscopic modeling in the face of big data challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":17262,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Chinese Chemical Society","volume":"72 6","pages":"611-626"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144323619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method employs a stepper motor to move a green laser beam across the test strip, while two photodiodes detect the light scattered from the nitrocellulose membrane. By using control line intensities as internal standards, we validated the assays with luteinizing hormone (LH) test strips, which have a cut-off value of 25 mIU/mL. The validation demonstrated less than 20% variability at LH concentrations above 1 mIU/mL. The utility of the assays was further showcased through daily monitoring of urinary LH levels in male and female volunteers over the course of a month.

Such copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles can be easily produced by the sol–gel method. In this study, primarily pure CuO and CuO nanoparticles doped with 4%, 8%, 12%, and 16% zinc, titanium, and aluminum were produced by the sol–gel method. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of all produced nanoparticles were performed. The dimensions of pure CuO nanoparticles are approximately 50 nm, while the doped nanoparticles are approximately 80 nm. Bacterial cultivation was carried out using the nanoparticles that had been converted into tablets, with <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i> as the test microorganisms. When disc diffusion test results were evaluated, it was generally observed that doping increased the antibacterial effect compared to pure CuO. The additives providing the antibacterial effect for <i>E. coli</i> caused the inhibition zones to grow at an average rate of Al (27%), Zn (15%), and TiO (6%), respectively. In <i>A. tumefaciens</i> bacteria, an increase was observed in the antibacterial effect inhibition zones with Al and Zn additives, while a decrease was observed with TiO additives. As a result, it was seen that CuO doping increased the antibacterial effect, and the best effect was Al doping.
