+# UltraMS MSnLib benchmark
+
+Version **1.0.0** · 2026-11-04 · license **CC BY 4.0** (see [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md))
+
+Two frozen, independent benchmark splits of the [MSnLib](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-025-02813-0)
+tandem mass spectral library, built and released by UltraMS:
+
+* **Split A — UltraMS MSnLib formula-level split**: the complete library (560,084 spectra,
+  all adducts) split by molecular formula into train / validation / test
+  (16,885 / 2,110 / 2,112 formulas, 446,667 / 55,980 / 57,437 spectra). Formula-disjoint.
+  This is the population for single-spectrum candidate ranking, multiple-spectrum voting,
+  label-blind grouping and embedding analyses.
+* **Split B — strict-adduct molecule-level split**: the strict `[M+H]+` and `[M-H]-`
+  subsets (447,956 source rows) re-split 70 / 15 / 15 at the level of RDKit canonical
+  isomeric SMILES, separately per polarity, with frozen queries and libraries for
+  spectrum-to-spectrum library search. Molecule-disjoint within each polarity.
+
+Both splits are frozen benchmark definitions with published checksums; neither is a
+redistribution of the MSnLib spectra.
+
+---
+
+## 1. At a glance
+
+| | Split A (formula-level, all adducts) | Split B `[M+H]+` | Split B `[M-H]-` |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| compounds / molecules | — (21,107 formulas) | 41,348 | 21,293 |
+| spectra | 560,084 | 301,636 | 140,193 |
+| train | 16,885 formulas · 446,667 spectra | 28,944 compounds · 211,745 spectra | 14,907 · 98,401 |
+| validation | 2,110 formulas · 55,980 spectra | 6,202 compounds · 44,881 spectra | 3,193 · 20,927 |
+| test | 2,112 formulas · 57,437 spectra | 6,202 compounds · 45,010 spectra | 3,193 · 20,865 |
+| test task | candidate ranking / voting (57,437 queries) | 6,202 queries vs 295,434 library spectra | 3,193 vs 137,000 |
+| queries with an exact-adduct library positive | — | 6,201 | 3,160 |
+| validation task | — | 6,202 vs 250,424 | 3,193 vs 116,135 |
+
+Split A test fold: 57,437 spectra, 2,112 formulas, 5,003 distinct MSnLib source SMILES,
+4,889 distinct RDKit canonical isomeric SMILES. The **official** multiple-spectrum voting
+unit is the MSnLib source SMILES string: 5,002 groups covering 57,436 spectra (canonical
+view: 4,888 groups).
+
+Split B split seeds: 42 (`[M+H]+`) / 43 (`[M-H]-`); query seed 119. Split A has no seed:
+its fold assignment is frozen in the `fold` column of `MSnLib.csv` and replayed exactly by
+`split_A_full_msnlib/build_split_a.py`.
+
+## 2. Disjointness: what is claimed — and what is not
+
+| split | disjointness unit | claimed |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| A | molecular formula | every spectrum of a formula lies in exactly one fold; no formula occurs in two folds (0 conflicts out of 21,107) |
+| B | RDKit canonical isomeric SMILES, per polarity | the train / validation / test compound sets of each polarity are pairwise disjoint |
+
+**A and B are different objects and must not be combined into a global-disjointness claim.**
+About 41 % of split-B compounds are in a *different* split-A fold, and a spectrum can be a
+split-A test spectrum while its compound is a split-B train compound. Concrete numbers:
+
+* split B `[M+H]+` test compounds: 654 are split-A test, 4,922 are split-A train, 626 are
+  split-A validation;
+* split B `[M-H]-` test compounds: 303 are split-A test, 2,541 are split-A train, 349 are
+  split-A validation;
+* 31,570 split-A test spectra are `[M+H]+` rows of split B and 13,413 are `[M-H]-` rows.
+
+The full cross-tabulation (compound level and spectra level, per polarity, plus the
+relation of the split-A test fold to split B) is in [figures_mapping.md](figures_mapping.md) §2.
+Never report a cross-split score as a held-out result: train and evaluate inside one split.

+Every plain `.csv` has a byte-identical `.csv.gz` twin; `rebuild/verify_release.py` checks
+this, all counts, all orderings, the cross-split statistics and the checksums.
+
+## 4. Split A — UltraMS MSnLib formula-level split
+
+### 4.1 Definition
+
+For every MSnLib spectrum the neutral molecular formula is computed from the source SMILES
+with RDKit (`rdMolDescriptors.CalcMolFormula(Chem.MolFromSmiles(smiles))`). The frozen
+`fold` column of `MSnLib.csv` assigns each formula to exactly one fold; the split is the
+formula-grouped 80/10/10 partition that results. The rule was verified for all 560,084
+spectra: 21,107 formulas, none in more than one fold. This is the frozen benchmark
+definition; `build_split_a.py` replays it from `MSnLib.csv` and reproduces every table
+byte-for-byte.
+
+### 4.2 Tables
+
+| file | rows | columns |
+| --- | ---: | --- |
+| `formula_split.csv` | 21,107 | `formula, fold, n_spectra` — ordered by fold (train, valid, test) then formula |
+| `row_formula_fold.csv` | 560,084 | `row_index, formula, fold` — 0-based `MSnLib.csv` data row → formula → fold |
+| `test_spectra.csv` | 57,437 | `row_index, smiles, precursor_mz, adduct, collision_energy, fold, canonical_isomeric_smiles` |
+| `val_spectra.csv` | 55,980 | same schema for the validation fold |
+| `test_molecules_voting.csv` | 5,002 | `group_id, smiles, n_spectra` — **official** voting units (MSnLib source SMILES) |
+| `test_molecules_voting_canonical_view.csv` | 4,888 | `group_id, canonical_isomeric_smiles, n_spectra` — alternative canonical view |
+| `msnlib_rt.csv.gz` | 560,084 | `row_index, rt` — per-spectrum retention time in seconds (gzipped only, see §4.5) |
+
+`row_index` is the 0-based data row of `MSnLib.csv` (physical line = data row + 2). The
+tables do not carry peak data; join on `row_index` against `MSnLib.csv` (see §8).
+
+### 4.3 Official voting units — read this before using the voting tables
+
+The **official multiple-spectrum voting units are the 5,002 MSnLib source-SMILES groups
+covering 57,436 spectra**, exactly the grouping used by the published multiple-spectrum
+voting task (Figure 3d and the Figure 3a voting readouts, `n_molecules = 5002`). The test
+fold contains 5,003 distinct source SMILES strings; one occurs in only one spectrum, hence
+5,002 groups. This table is `test_molecules_voting.csv` (columns `group_id, smiles,
+n_spectra`) and it is verified member-for-member against the repository voting table
+(`benchmarks/molecular_identification/data/multiple_spectrum_voting_per_group.csv.gz`).
+
+An **alternative canonical view** is provided as `test_molecules_voting_canonical_view.csv`:
+the same test spectra grouped by RDKit canonical isomeric SMILES give 4,888 groups covering
+the same 57,436 spectra (114 source-string groups merge into chemically identical
+molecules; the single excluded molecule is `CC(C)(C)OC(=O)NCC1(CC(=O)O)CCCCC1`). This view
+is not the official voting unit.
+
+No data was altered to force either count. See `split_A_full_msnlib/VERIFY.md` §7 and
+`REPORT.json` → `anomalies`.
+
+### 4.5 Retention times (RT)
+
+`split_A_full_msnlib/msnlib_rt.csv.gz` is a compact companion table needed by the
+label-blind grouping and multiple-spectrum voting analyses (Figure 3d): `row_index` is the
+0-based `MSnLib.csv` data row (0 … 560,083) and `rt` is the retention time in seconds, kept
+in the source text representation.
+
+RT is **source metadata from the MSnLib records** (CC BY 4.0, Zenodo
+10.5281/zenodo.11163380; see `NOTICE.md`). The table was exported from
+`MSnLib_with_rt.csv` (755,984,910 bytes, SHA-256
+`a5b7c38228287c5c1de401050445319b331ee9a5f17993d6e104e9a734fe2964`) after verifying
+row-by-row that its first seven columns are identical to `MSnLib.csv` in the same order
+(560,084/560,084 rows, 0 mismatches; see `split_A_full_msnlib/VERIFY.md` §5.4). The full
+756 MB CSV is not duplicated; only this 1.4 MB gzipped table is shipped.
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+test = pd.read_csv("split_A_full_msnlib/test_spectra.csv")
+rt = pd.read_csv("split_A_full_msnlib/msnlib_rt.csv.gz")   # row_index, rt
+test_rt = test.merge(rt, on="row_index", how="left")
+assert test_rt["rt"].notna().all()
+```
+
+The same `row_index` join works for every row of `row_formula_fold.csv`.
+
+#### Provenance of split A
+
+Source rows, formulas and folds were computed read-only in an isolated data-preparation
+environment with RDKit 2026.03.5. The split-A tables were frozen from that run; cross-checks against the
+historical per-fold CSV files, against the MSnLib original JSON `formula` fields, and
+against the repository voting table are recorded in `split_A_full_msnlib/VERIFY.md`.
+
+## 5. Split B — strict-adduct molecule-level split
+
+### 5.1 Definition
+
+Split B keeps only the strict `[M+H]+` (303,709 source rows) and `[M-H]-` (144,247 source
+rows) spectra. After the frozen spectrum preprocessing (drop `m/z ≤ 0` peaks, require at
+least 3 peaks, normalise to the base peak, keep the 150 most intense peaks and sort by m/z)
+2,073 positive and 4,054 negative rows are dropped, leaving **301,636** and **140,193**
+preprocessed spectra. Compound identity is RDKit canonical isomeric SMILES (frozen with
+RDKit 2026.03.5). Per polarity the sorted compound list is shuffled with
+`random.Random(42)` (`[M+H]+`) / `random.Random(43)` (`[M-H]-`) and split 70 / 15 / 15;
+one query spectrum per validation/test compound is drawn with a fresh `random.Random(119)`.
+
+### 5.2 Tables
+
+| table | schema |
+| --- | --- |
+| `splits/{pos,neg}_compound_split.csv` | `polarity, compound_id, canonical_isomeric_smiles, split, n_spectra, n_frozen_queries, n_raw_smiles_variants, first_msnlib_csv_data_row` |
+| `queries/{pos,neg}_{val,test}_queries.csv` | `polarity, split, query_index, compound_id, canonical_isomeric_smiles, adduct, msnlib_csv_data_row, msnlib_csv_line, precursor_mz, n_peaks, collision_energy, source_smiles_raw, n_library_positives` |
+| `libraries/{pos,neg}_{val,test}_library.csv` | same as queries with `library_index` and `compound_split` instead of `query_index`; row order is the frozen library order |
+
+### 5.3 Protocol
+
+1. Score every query against the **complete** library of its task (no candidate short list).
+2. A retrieved library spectrum is correct iff its canonical isomeric SMILES equals the
+   query's (exact same-adduct spectrum of the same molecule).
+3. Empirical FDR = `(accepted − correct) / accepted`; identification recall =
+   `correct / n_queries_with_library_positive` (6,201 / 3,160 for the two test tasks).
+   Queries without a library positive enter the FDR denominator but not the recall
+   denominator; `n_library_positives` is published per query.
+4. The **test library** is every preprocessed spectrum of the polarity except the selected
+   test queries (it therefore still contains further spectra of the test molecules; a query
+   never occurs in its own library). The **validation library** contains train and
+   validation compounds only, so test compounds never influence validation scores.
+5. Validation is for model selection only; the test fold is evaluated once.
+
+The split-B tables deliberately do **not** carry the formula-level fold of the spectra:
+that label belongs to split A. To obtain each split-B row's split-A fold, join
+`msnlib_csv_data_row` (queries/libraries) or `first_msnlib_csv_data_row` (compound split)
+against `split_A_full_msnlib/row_formula_fold.csv`; the packaged verifier does exactly this
+for the cross-split statistics.
+
+The frozen row-index arrays behind these tables are in `protocol/`; the CSV tables are a
+human-readable view. `rebuild/build_library_manifest.py` replays them bit-for-bit from
+`MSnLib.csv`, and `rebuild/verify_release.py` checks the tables against the arrays and the
+frozen manifest.
+
+### 5.4 Cross-collision-energy subtask
+
+The cross-collision-energy library-search task uses split B test queries that were measured
+at two or more collision energies: **6,161 positive** and **2,999 negative** queries (out of
+6,202 / 3,193 split-B test queries). The task pairs a low-energy query spectrum with a
+high-energy reference library (or vice versa) and asks for the same-molecule hit; the
+query identities are a subset of the split-B test queries published here. The CE values in
+MSnLib are 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 75 eV. The cross-CE pairing manifest and readouts are
+part of the UltraMS repository, not of this split package.
+
+## 6. Relation to split A
+
+Split A and split B are independent; see §2 for the disjointness statement and
+[figures_mapping.md](figures_mapping.md) §2 for the full cross-tabulation. Summary: 58.9 %
+positive and 59.4 % negative split-B compounds keep the same fold in split A; 654 positive
+and 303 negative split-B test compounds are also split-A test compounds; 31,570 / 13,413
+split-A test spectra are `[M+H]+` / `[M-H]-` rows of split B.
+
+## 7. Manuscript figures
+
+[figures_mapping.md](figures_mapping.md) maps every figure panel to the split it uses:
+
+* **A**: Figure 2b, Figure 2j, Figure 3a, 3b, 3d, 3g, 3a_sp_4, 3a_sp_5 and the
+  single-spectrum baselines Top-1 table;
+* **B**: Figure 3e, 3f, 3h, 3h_sp_1 and the cross-collision-energy task (6,161 / 2,999);
+* **not this dataset**: NPLIB1 and MassSpecGym comparison panels (independent external
+  benchmarks); Figure 3c / 3i case studies are not split-defined.
+
+Candidate-ranking tables (the per-formula candidate lists behind Figure 3a/3b/3d/3g) are
+part of the UltraMS repository, not of this split package; this package provides the frozen
+queries, identities and folds they are evaluated on.
+
+## 8. Data acquisition and rebuilding
+
+### 8.1 The spectra are not part of this manifest
+
+This package publishes splits and identifiers, not peak arrays. Every table is joined back
+to the spectra through `row_index` / `msnlib_csv_data_row`, which point into `MSnLib.csv`;
+both large files are hosted in the same Hugging Face dataset (see the managed-file table
+below) rather than duplicated in this manifest.
+
+| item | value |
+| --- | --- |
+| file | `MSnLib.csv` — one row per MSnLib spectrum |
+| rows | 560,084 data rows (560,085 physical lines, no embedded newlines) |
+| bytes | 752,707,651 |
+| SHA-256 | `be54b33039cf18675751ea3c6354b592177c899a0cd5df303ae616330133ec07` |
+| columns | `mzs, intensities, smiles, precursor_mz, adduct, collision_energy, fold` |
+| CSV format | peaks stored as comma-separated strings (`mzs`, `intensities`), one spectrum per row |
+
+**Managed files on Hugging Face.** The dataset is planned for Hugging Face under the
+placeholder id **`dsadd4/UltraMS-MSnLib-Benchmark`** (dataset card and upload commands are
+drafted here as `hf_dataset_card.md` and `hf_upload_commands.sh`; the upload has **not**
+been executed). The repository will host:
+
+| hosted file | bytes | SHA-256 | purpose |
+| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
+| every file of this manifest (`split_A_full_msnlib/`, `splits/`, `queries/`, `libraries/`, `protocol/`, `rebuild/`, docs; 59 files) | ≈ 185.2 MiB total | see `SHA256SUMS` | the two benchmark splits, verifier, docs |
+| `split_A_full_msnlib/msnlib_rt.csv.gz` | 1,483,069 | `994053612db874f7ac7985f278e04cc3463f3b93cd649a195bd167c4c6c7d3d8` | compact per-spectrum retention time (`row_index, rt` in seconds); joins `MSnLib.csv` rows 1:1 and supplies the RT used by the label-blind grouping analysis (Figure 3d) |
+| `MSnLib.csv` | 752,707,651 | `be54b33039cf18675751ea3c6354b592177c899a0cd5df303ae616330133ec07` | the full source CSV: one row per MSnLib spectrum; every `row_index` / `msnlib_csv_data_row` / `first_msnlib_csv_data_row` pointer resolves here |
+| `MSnLib_candidates.json` | 1,368,264,026 | `125a1cdcc57a3fcef8cc76d5322ac0c434cd09b0bfb9e0c9d28bddf052f45fcc` | candidate SMILES lists behind the single-spectrum candidate-ranking task: a JSON object mapping a query SMILES string to its candidate SMILES list (9,886 query entries) |
+
+The large files are hosted because every table points into them: spectra (`MSnLib.csv`) and
+candidate rankings (`MSnLib_candidates.json`). The upload script keeps them in a separate
+step and remains dry-run by default.
+
+It can also be rebuilt from the **MSnLib original release** (Brungs et al., Zenodo
+[10.5281/zenodo.11163380](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11163380), CC BY 4.0): the release
+provides 18 per-file MS2 JSONL record lists with exactly 560,084 records in total (equal to
+the CSV data-row count), each record carrying `peaks`, `smiles`, `precursor_mz`, `adduct`
+and `collision_energy`. The UltraMS CSV conversion writes one row per record in the frozen
+conversion order with the columns above and carries the frozen fold labels. The
+authoritative row → formula → fold mapping is shipped independently as
+`split_A_full_msnlib/row_formula_fold.csv`, so downstream work never depends on
+reconstructing the conversion order.
+
+### 8.2 Rebuilding split A
+
+```bash
+python3 split_A_full_msnlib/build_split_a.py \
+    --csv /path/to/MSnLib.csv \
+    --output-dir replay_split_a
+```
+
+Needs Python ≥ 3.10 and RDKit 2026.03.5 (the frozen canonicalisation runtime). The script
+verifies all counts and all six table SHA-256 values; with a different RDKit patch release
+the canonical-string tables can differ textually while every count still matches (the
+script reports that, or downgrades it to a warning with `--lenient-rdkit`).
+
+### 8.3 Rebuilding split B
+
+See [rebuild/README.md](rebuild/README.md). In short:
+
+```bash
+python3 rebuild/build_library_manifest.py \
+    --csv /path/to/MSnLib.csv --skip-reference-regression \
+    --output-dir replay_manifest
+```
+
+This regenerates `protocol/*.npz`, `smiles_*.json`, `adducts_*.json` and
+`manifest_summary.json` (needs NumPy, h5py, RDKit). The CSV tables are then rebuilt from the
+protocol arrays through `protocol/derived/row_metadata_*.npz` (see `protocol/README.md`).
+
+## 9. Verification
+
+```bash
+python3 rebuild/verify_release.py     # self-contained; no network, no MSnLib download
+sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS              # or: shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS (macOS)
+```
+
+`rebuild/verify_release.py` re-derives every published count, ordering hash, disjointness
+statement, query/library partition, per-query library positive, cross-split statistic and
+file checksum from the shipped files; the complete transcript is in [VERIFY.md](VERIFY.md).
+Split-A-specific evidence (including the read-only replay and the voting-unit check) is in
+`split_A_full_msnlib/VERIFY.md`.
+
+## 10. Known properties and caveats
+
+1. **Two splits, two disjointness units.** Split A is formula-disjoint; split B is
+   compound-disjoint within each polarity. Do not merge them into one global-disjointness
+   claim and do not reuse a fold label across splits (§2).
+2. **Voting units: official 5,002 source-SMILES groups / 57,436 spectra, alternative
+   canonical view 4,888 groups / 57,436 spectra.** The official unit is the one used by the
+   published `n_molecules = 5002` grouping; both tables are shipped (§4.3).
+3. **Retention times are split-A row metadata.** `split_A_full_msnlib/msnlib_rt.csv.gz`
+   (`row_index, rt` in seconds) is source metadata from the MSnLib release, verified
+   row-aligned to `MSnLib.csv`; it is not part of split B and carries no fold label of its
+   own.
+4. **Queries without a library positive are expected** in split B: 1 positive and 33
+   negative *test* queries (and 8 / 30 *validation* queries) are singleton compounds whose
+   only spectrum is the query. They enter the FDR denominator but not the recall
+   denominator; `n_library_positives` is published per query.
+5. **Singleton compounds are retained** in split B (39 positive and 202 negative compounds
+   have exactly one spectrum). Filtering them changes the benchmark.
+6. **Compound identity is frozen text** (RDKit 2026.03.5 canonical isomeric SMILES). Other
+   RDKit patch releases can serialise the same molecule differently; compare the published
+   strings, not freshly canonicalised ones. Molecular formulas are stable across RDKit
+   patch releases.
+7. **Precursor m/z** is the source CSV text value; the split-B protocol stores it as
+   float32 and all 441,829 preprocessed rows agree exactly after the cast.
+8. **Collision energy is source metadata**, not a selection criterion; all six values
+   (15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 eV) occur in both polarities.
+9. **Split B libraries are large by design** (≈47.6 positive / ≈42.9 negative spectra per
+   query on average); ranking must cover the full library, there is no candidate short list.
+10. **Split A includes all adducts** (11 distinct adducts in the test fold), not only the
+   strict `[M+H]+` / `[M-H]-` subset used by split B.

+## 11. Provenance and licensing
+
+The upstream MSnLib release (spectra and molecule metadata) is CC BY 4.0 (Brungs et al.,
+Zenodo 10.5281/zenodo.11163380). The split definitions, tables and scripts added by UltraMS
+are released under CC BY 4.0 as well. `rebuild/build_library_manifest.py` and
+`rebuild/baseline_common.py` are Apache-2.0 files copied from the UltraMS public release.
+See [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md) for the full attribution and licensing statement, and
+`protocol/manifest_summary.json` for the frozen split-B manifest (one path field is
+redacted to a placeholder; every count, seed and hash is byte-identical).

+## 13. Versioning
+
+`1.0.0` is the first joint release of splits A and B. Its content is defined by
+`stats.json`, `SHA256SUMS` and the frozen `protocol/manifest_summary.json`. Any change to
+the splits, the compound/formula identity or the library scope requires a new version
+directory and new manifests — the frozen tables must stay frozen so that published
+FDR/recall/ranking numbers remain comparable.
