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.

arXiv:2606. 30961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in deep learning architectures and representations have enabled ML-driven chemical property prediction, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models have remained largely confined to independent codebases and lack support for diverse chemical species.

The paper presents MoCoP v2, an enhanced contrastive pretraining method that aligns small molecule embeddings with deep‑learning‑derived cell morphology profiles. By replacing CellProfiler fingerprints with richer image‑encoded features, the new embeddings better capture how molecules alter cell morphology, leading to improved QSAR, toxicity, ADME, and activity predictions. Performance scales log‑linearly with training data size, indicating further gains with larger datasets.

Target-specific peptide design requires sequence and structure co-design under full atom geometric constraints. Latent generative frameworks offer an effective route for this problem by compressing fine grained atomic structures into block level latent representations and performing conditional generation in a compact latent space.
