SpecX - Functional Group Inference (Simulated Spectra): leaderboard

Naming the functional groups present in a molecule from its spectra, zero-shot and without the molecular formula (SpecX, Xiang et al., 2026): the model reads text-encoded simulated 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HSQC, IR and mass spectra of molecules from the benchmark's aligned Small subset. Macro-averaged F1 from 0 to 1 over 37 SMARTS-defined functional groups on the random-split test set; higher is better.

Metric: Macro-F1 (0-1; 37 SMARTS functional-group labels, zero-shot from text-encoded simulated 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HSQC, IR and MS spectra of the Small subset, random split). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 3 models tracked.
