Automating the Expert Eye: A System-Agnostic Deep Learning Framework for Rare Event Discovery in Imbalanced Force Spectroscopy
arXiv:2606.09541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy (SMFS) provides unprecedented insights into biomolecular mechanics, yet the high-throughput generation of force-extension trajectories creates a severe data curation bottleneck. Identifying rare molecular unbinding events within thousands of noise-dominated curves traditionally relies on tedious, non-scalable manual auditing. Here, we present a system-agnostic, interpretable deep learning framework tailored to overcome extreme class imbalance in automated SMFS triage. Utilizing 1D-to-2D rasterized geometric ma
The increasing volume and complexity of data in single-molecule force spectroscopy necessitate automated, AI-driven solutions to overcome manual curation limitations.
This breakthrough offers a generalizable deep learning framework to accelerate scientific discovery in biomolecular mechanics by automating the identification of rare but crucial events.
Traditional, tedious manual data auditing in SMFS can now be replaced by an interpretable, system-agnostic deep learning approach, making high-throughput analysis feasible.
