Title: Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for predicting highest priority functional group in organic molecules

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.23862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Our work addresses the problem of predicting the highest priority functional group present in an organic molecule. Functional Groups are groups of bound atoms that determine the physical and chemical properties of organic molecules. In the presence of multiple functional groups, the dominant functional group determines the compound's properties. Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a commonly used spectroscopic method for identifying
