Two-Dimensional Clustering of Spectral Changes for the Interpretation of Raman Hyperspectra
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) is a technique that permits the examination of synchronous and asynchronous changes present in hyperspectral data. It produces two-dimensional correlation coefficient maps that represent the mutually correlated changes occurring at all Raman wavenumbers during an implemented perturbation. To focus our analysis on clusters of wavenumbers that tend to change together, we apply a k-means clustering to the wavenumber profiles in the perturbation domain decomposition of the two-dimensional correlation coefficient map. These profiles (or trends) reflect peak intensity changes as a function of the perturbation. We then plot the co-occurrences of cluster members two-dimensionally in a manner analogous to a two-dimensional correlation coefficient map. Because wavenumber profiles are clustered based on their similarity, two-dimensional cluster member spectra reveal which Raman peaks change in a similar manner, rather than how much they are correlated. Furthermore, clustering produces a discrete partitioning of the wavenumbers, thus a two-dimensional cluster member spectrum exhibits a discrete presentation of related Raman peaks as opposed to the more continuous representations in a two-dimensional correlation coefficient map. We demonstrate first the basic principles of the technique with the aid of synthetic data. We then apply it to Raman spectra obtained from a polystyrene perchlorate model system followed by Raman spectra from mammalian cells fixed with different percentages of methanol. Both data sets were designed to produce differential changes in sample components. In both cases, all the peaks pertaining to a given component should then change in a similar manner. We observed that component-based profile clustering did occur for polystyrene and perchlorate in the model system and lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins in the mammalian cell example. This confirmed that the method can translate to “real world” samples. We contrast these results with two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy results. To supplement interpretation, we present the cluster-segmented mean spectrum of the hyperspectral data. Overall, this technique is expected to be a valuable adjunct to two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy to further facilitate hyperspectral data interpretation and analysis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
