Deep Learning-Driven Peptide Classification in Biological Nanopores

The paper presents a deep learning approach that converts nanopore resistive pulse signals into scaleograms using continuous wavelet transforms, enabling the classification of peptides as an image‑classification problem. On a dataset of 42 peptides, the method achieves an 82% macro‑averaged accuracy, outperforming previous descriptor‑based techniques by 8.6 percentage points. The models also remain accurate after significant weight pruning and 8‑bit quantization, making them suitable for deployment on embedded sensing hardware.
