Abstract:
Raman spectroscopy provides a vibrational profile of the molecules and thus can be used to uniquely identify different kinds of materials. This sort of molecule fingerprinting has thus led to the widespread application of Raman spectrum in various fields like medical diagnosis, forensics, mineralogy, bacteriology, virology, etc. Despite the recent rise in Raman spectra data volume, there has not been any significant effort in developing generalized machine learning methods targeted toward Raman spectra analysis. We examine, experiment, and evaluate existing methods and conjecture that neither current sequential models nor traditional machine learning models are satisfactorily sufficient to analyze Raman spectra. Both have their perks and pitfalls; therefore, we attempt to mix the best of both worlds and propose a novel network architecture RamanNet. RamanNet is immune to the invariance property in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and at the same time better than traditional machine learning models for the inclusion of sparse connectivity. This has been achieved by incorporating shifted multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) at the earlier levels of the network to extract significant features across the entire spectrum, which are further refined by the inclusion of triplet loss in the hidden layers. Our experiments on 4 public datasets demonstrate superior performance over the much more complex state-of-the-art methods, and thus, RamanNet has the potential to become the de facto standard in Raman spectra data analysis.
