The paper introduces MSAlign, a lightweight model that aligns frozen foundation models for mass spectra (DreaMS) and molecules (MolDeBERTa) to improve metabolite identification from MS/MS spectra. It presents a unified framework for representation alignment and contrastive learning, demonstrates that a score fusion strategy further boosts performance at minimal cost, and addresses evaluation challenges by quantifying distribution shift in data splitting strategies. All resources, including datasets, splits, and code, are publicly released to promote reproducible research.
