model-weight-loading-and-deployment
Summary
Load pre-trained deep learning model weights from a repository and deploy them for inference on new spectral data to generate molecular structure predictions. This skill enables reproducibility of published structure-generation performance without retraining.
When to use
You have a pre-trained MSGO model checkpoint (PFAS or lipid variant) and need to evaluate it against a real mass spectrometry dataset (300+ real spectra, LC–QTOF, or custom CSV) to generate predicted molecular structures and compare against ground truth or baseline results.
When NOT to use
- Model weights have not been downloaded or checkpoint path is invalid—training must be performed first using tools/train.py
- Input spectra are in non-standard formats (not CSV or incompatible with eval_standard.py schema)
- Evaluating on pseudo SMILES-spectrum pairs used for training—use the 300+ real spectrum validation set instead to assess generalization
Inputs
- Pre-trained model checkpoint directory (ckpts/pfas or ckpts/lipid)
- Real mass spectrometry spectrum dataset (CSV format with spectrum features)
- Polarization mode specification (pos or neg)
- Beam search size parameter (integer, 300–500)
Outputs
- Results CSV file with predicted SMILES structures
- Top-10 ranked predictions per spectrum with scores
- Inference time and structure-generation performance metrics
How to apply
Load the released MSGO model weights from github.com/aaronma2020/MSGO using Python 3.7 and Torch 1.7.1 by specifying the checkpoint path (ckpts/pfas or ckpts/lipid). Prepare your input spectrum dataset as a CSV file compatible with the eval_standard.py evaluation script, specifying polarization mode (pos or neg) and beam search size (300–500 depending on model variant). Execute inference by calling tools/eval.py or tools/eval_standard.py with the model path and input CSV, collecting predicted SMILES structures ranked by beam search score. Verify correctness by confirming the output CSV includes top-10 predictions with associated confidence scores for each spectrum.

Examples
python tools/eval_standard.py --log_path ckpts/pfas --real_csv ./data/example/pfas.csv --out_csv ./pfas_results.csv --beam_size 500 --polar neg
Evaluation signals
- Model checkpoint successfully loads without Torch deserialization errors
- Output CSV contains exactly 10 ranked predictions per spectrum with monotonically decreasing beam search scores
- Predicted SMILES are valid and canonicalizable (no malformed SMILES strings)
- Structure-generation metrics (e.g., exact match rate on 300+ real spectra) match or closely reproduce the reported paper results
- Inference completes without CUDA out-of-memory or framework compatibility errors for the specified Python 3.7 and Torch 1.7.1 versions
Limitations
- Model weights are specialized to PFAS or lipid chemical classes—deployment on spectra from other compound classes may yield poor predictions
- Evaluation requires exact Python 3.7 and Torch 1.7.1 versions; newer PyTorch releases may break checkpoint compatibility
- Pseudo SMILES-spectrum pairs used during training may introduce systematic bias in predicted structures; real-world validation datasets are recommended
- Beam search size (300–500) trades inference speed against coverage of candidate structures—smaller beam sizes may miss correct predictions
