Abstract
In untargeted metabolomics, structures of small molecules are annotated using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry by leveraging information from the molecular retention time (RT) in the chromatogram and m/z (formerly called ''mass-to-charge ratio'') in the mass spectrum. However, correct identification of metabolites is challenging due to the vast array of small molecules. Therefore, various in silico tools for mass spectrometry peak alignment and compound prediction have been developed; however, the list of candidate compounds remains extensive. Accurate RT prediction is important to exclude false candidates and facilitate metabolite annotation. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to significant breakthroughs in the use of deep learning models in various fields. Release of a large RT dataset has mitigated the bottlenecks limiting the application of deep learning models, thereby improving their application in RT prediction tasks. This review lists the databases that can be used to expand training datasets and concerns the issue about molecular representation inconsistencies in datasets. It also discusses the application of AI technology for RT prediction, particularly in the 5 years following the release of the METLIN small molecule RT dataset. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the AI applications used for RT prediction, highlighting the progress and remaining challenges.
