Artificial Intelligence for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), well acknowledged as a fingerprinting and sensitive analytical technique, has exerted high applicational value in a broad range of fields including biomedicine, environmental protection, food safety among the others. In the endless pursuit of ever‐sensitive, robust, and comprehensive sensing and imaging, advancements keep emerging in the whole pipeline of SERS, from the design of SERS substrates and reporter molecules, synthetic route planning, instrument refinement, to data preprocessing and analysis methods. Artificial intelligence (AI), which is created to imitate and eventually exceed human behaviors, has exhibited its power in learning high‐level representations and recognizing complicated patterns with exceptional automaticity. Therefore, facing up with the intertwining influential factors and explosive data size, AI has been increasingly leveraged in all the above‐mentioned aspects in SERS, presenting elite efficiency in accelerating systematic optimization and deepening understanding about the fundamental physics and spectral data, which far transcends human labors and conventional computations. In this review, the recent progresses in SERS are summarized through the integration of AI, and new insights of the challenges and perspectives are provided in aim to better gear SERS toward the fast track.

Unveiling brain disorders using liquid biopsy and Raman spectroscopy

“…The underlying principle of PLS regression revolves around establishing a linear relationship between the Raman spectral data (predictor variables, X ) and a collection of reference measurements or properties (response variables, y ). 122 This is achieved by projecting both the predictor and response variables onto a new set of latent variables or components, adept at capturing the maximum covariance between X and y . X = ZV T + E y = Zb + e …”

“…In the realm of RS and microscopy, LDA serves various purposes, including sample classification, identification of spectral markers or discriminating features linked to different classes, and the development of diagnostic models based on Raman spectral data. 122…”

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Coupled with In Situ Raman Spectroscopy for the Detection of the OER Mechanism: A Mini-Review

“…In contrast, inelastic scattering, known as the Raman effect, occurs when incident photons exchange energy with the molecules’ vibrational or rotational modes, causing a shift in the scattered light’s wavelength (Figure a). Inelastic scattering includes energy loss (Stokes lines) and energy gain (anti-Stokes lines), providing information about the material’s structure. − …”

Applications of Data Characteristic AI-Assisted Raman Spectroscopy in Pathological Classification

“…Due to the diversity and heterogeneity of the biological system, the prediction accuracy will be substantially reduced when the model is applied to the extra data set acquired. AI models integrated the chemical information within Raman spectra, which were potential for accurate and robust classification. − …”
