Background:

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a key technique for characterizing nanoparticle size and shape in solution.
Selecting appropriate models for SAXS data analysis is critical but challenging, especially for non-experts.
Existing methods require significant user expertise and can be time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated algorithm for selecting the optimal nanoparticle model from SAXS data.
To address the difficulties and time constraints associated with manual model selection.
To improve the accessibility and efficiency of nanoparticle characterization using SAXS.

Main Methods:

Machine learning and representation learning techniques were employed.
SAXS-specific preprocessing methods were integrated into the algorithm.
A large simulated database of 75,000 scattering spectra from nine nanoparticle models was created, simulating two device configurations.
The algorithm was trained and evaluated on simulated data and validated on a real experimental dataset.

Main Results:

The proposed algorithm instantly selects the best-suited nanoparticle model for SAXS data.
Training the algorithm on multiple device configurations demonstrated good generalization capabilities without performance degradation.
The study highlighted challenges in transferring classification rules between different SAXS instrument configurations.
Validation on real SAXS data provided initial insights into the transferability of findings from simulated data.

Conclusions:

An automated machine learning approach can effectively select nanoparticle models for SAXS data analysis.
Generalizing the algorithm across multiple instrument configurations is feasible and crucial for wider applicability.
The developed algorithm and simulated database offer a valuable resource for the SAXS community.
