Abstract

The present application provides a method, a device, and a system for compound clustering and a storage medium, including acquiring samples of compounds to be identified, and segmenting the samples of the compounds into a subset of samples including an initial identification tag; obtaining a sample legend according to the sample subset; and obtaining target identification tag results corresponding to the samples of the compounds according to the sample legend and the identification tag, wherein the identification tag includes the initial identification tag. The present invention provides an efficient, rapid and accurate method for small molecule compound clustering based on statistical compound clustering, improving the accuracy of small molecule compound clustering, reducing the processing space of clustering and breaking through the limitations of small molecule clustering, thereby making the processing of small molecule compound clustering more efficient and accurate.
