Abstract

The reliance on spectroscopic data in various regulatory and legal settings can make it tempting to tamper with spectra to yield desired results. One possible way to tamper might be during the analysis of spectra, by making small perturbations in the data that can lead to major changes in interpretation. Garth Simpson and coworkers at Purdue University are using “adversarial spectroscopy” to figure out how to make data analysis approaches more resistant to such attacks, Simpson reported at the ACS national meeting in San Diego last week. The researchers made small changes to Raman spectra and evaluated how those changes affected the interpretation of the spectra. They used spectra of two polymorphs of the blood-thinning drug clopidogrel bisulfate as a test case. Linear discriminant analysis, a method that searches for data features that can separate things into categories, was able to easily separate the spectra of each polymorph and bare
