摘要

Recent advances in the use of High-Resolution Cross-Correlation Spectroscopy(HRCCS)to detect molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, presents a new challenge for the accuracy of reference spectroscopic line lists. While parent isotopologues of key atmospheric tracers are often well-characterized, minor isotopologues, crucial for diagnosing planetary formation histories and evolution, suffer from a scarcity of experimental data, often leading to reliance on less accurate theoretical predictions. In this work, a comprehensive machine learning framework is designed to mitigate these inaccuracies by modelling the residual errors of the isotopologue extrapolation(IE) method used within the ExoMol project. A fully connected neural network architecture for carbon dioxide (CO2_2) is shown to predict energy corrections with high fidelity, reducing the mean absolute error(MAE) relative to the original IE approach for more than 87% of the levels when benchmarked against empirical(Marvel) energies. Furthermore, development of a novel hybrid, molecule-aware transfer learning architecture is presented that successfully propagates correction patterns from the data-rich CO2_2 system to the data-poor carbon monoxide (CO) system. This transfer learning approach yields MAE improvements in over 93% of CO samples, demonstrating that physical correction factors related to isotopic substitution can be generalized across chemically related molecular systems. Updated and improved line lists are presented for 11 CO2_2 isotopologues and energy levels for excited states of CO isotopologues are predicted. The methodology establishes a scalable, data-driven paradigm for refining molecular line lists, helping to bridge the gap between theoretical calculations and experimental precision.
