ArXi:2605.27009v1 Announce Type: new Predicting human olfactory perception from molecular structure has seen remarkable progress, yet these approaches require explicit chemical structure at inference, which is not available in practical sensing settings. We address this gap by exploring direct electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS), a sensing technique that acquires chemically informative fragmentation fingerprints in seconds, as an alternative input modality for olfactory prediction.
