Applica ions o AI in Spec oscopy and

Biomedical Diagnos ics:
In biomedical se ings, spec oscopy—
pa icula ly Raman, In a ed (IR), and
Su ace-Enhanced Raman Spec oscopy
(SERS)—is used o non-in asi e
diagnos ics, bioma ke de ec ion, and issue

AI Con ibu ions:
 Au oma ed Cance De ec ion: CNNs
and SVMs applied o Raman/SERS

bioma ke s in bodily luids wi h
highe sensi i i y han adi ional
