arXiv:2607. 19816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Determining molecular structures from spectroscopic data remains fundamentally challenging because the inverse problem is intrinsically underdetermined: individual spectra are sparse, low-dimensional, and encode only partial structural evidence relative to the vast space of possible molecules.

arXiv:2607. 04774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Untargeted tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detects thousands of small molecules per biological sample, yet most go unidentified because they are absent from spectral libraries.

The paper introduces DiffGCMS, a discrete graph diffusion model that generates molecular structures directly from GC–EI–MS spectra, and couples it with a large language model for post‑processing. In the first stage, DiffGCMS produces candidate structures; the LLM then validates, repairs, and reranks these candidates while offering interpretable explanations of fragment‑ion peaks. On a large NIST 20 test set, the combined approach improves accuracy and ensures 100% candidate validity for small molecules, demonstrating the value of spectrum‑aware post‑processing.

The paper introduces two closed‑form projection operators that enforce physical validity in biomolecular diffusion models during inference. One operator resolves inter‑chain van der Waals clashes, while the other restores ligand geometry, including bond lengths, angles, planarity, and chirality. These lightweight, model‑agnostic corrections preserve structural accuracy and ligand placement across multiple benchmarks without adding runtime or memory overhead.
