MAST is a motif‑augmented diffusion framework that uses a search tree to jointly elucidate 2D and 3D molecular structures from spectroscopic data. It incorporates explicit motif priors as intermediate evidence during denoising, reducing spectral ambiguity, and casts diffusion sampling as a reward‑guided tree search to prioritize high‑reward trajectories, thereby limiting computational overhead. On the QM9S multi‑spectra benchmark, MAST achieves 94.89% exact recovery, improves 3D fidelity, and maintains high chemical validity and stability.

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.
