Deep-Learning-Guided Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy In article number 2400587, Muhammad Usman, Liang Wang, and co-workers present a novel approach combining deep-learning-guided surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and a variational autoencoder (VAE) with a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network to classify vaginal cleanliness levels rapidly and accurately. Enhanced spectral quality and an optimized VAE–LSTM model yielded an 85% accuracy on blind test data. This method, which improves signal-to-noise ratios and diagnostic efficiency, shows strong potential for clinical applications in assessing vaginal cleanliness through SERS analysis of vaginal secretions.
