Reframing preprocessing selection as model-internal calibration in near-infrared spectroscopy: A large-scale benchmark of operator-adaptive PLS and Ridge models

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.13587v1 Announce Type: cross Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is rapid and non-destructive, but reliable calibration still depends heavily on spectral preprocessing. In routine practice, preprocessing is often selected by large external pipeline searches that are costly, unstable on small calibration sets, and difficult to audit. We We instantiate the framework for PLS and Ridge regression. For PLS, covariance identities enable fast NIPALS and SIMPLS variants while preserving original-wavelength coefficients.
