Abstract:Intelligent spectroscopy serves as a pivotal element in AI-driven closed-loop scientific discovery, functioning as the critical bridge between matter structure and artificial intelligence. However, conventional expert-dependent spectral interpretation encounters substantial hurdles, including susceptibility to human bias and error, dependence on limited specialized expertise, and variability across interpreters. To address these challenges, we propose SpecXMaster, an intelligent framework leveraging Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) for NMR molecular spectral interpretation. SpecXMaster enables automated extraction of multiplicity information from both 1H and 13C spectra directly from raw FID (free induction decay) data. This end-to-end pipeline enables fully automated interpretation of NMR spectra into chemical structures. It demonstrates superior performance across multiple public NMR interpretation benchmarks and has been refined through iterative evaluations by professional chemical spectroscopists. We believe that SpecXMaster, as a novel methodological paradigm for spectral interpretation, will have a profound impact on the organic chemistry community.
Abstract:Accurate downhole positioning is critical in oil and gas operations but is often compromised by signal degradation in traditional surface-based Casing Collar Locator (CCL) monitoring. To address this, we present an in-situ, real-time collar recognition system using embedded neural network. We introduce lightweight "Collar Recognition Nets" (CRNs) optimized for resource-constrained ARM Cortex-M7 microprocessors. By leveraging temporal and depthwise separable convolutions, our most compact model reduces computational complexity to just 8,208 MACs while maintaining an F1 score of 0.972. Hardware validation confirms an average inference latency of 343.2 μs, demonstrating that robust, autonomous signal processing is feasible within the severe power and space limitations of downhole instrumentation.
