We present CFM-ID, a web server supporting three tasks associated with the interpretation of tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) for the purpose of automated metabolite identification.The three tasks are peak annotation for a known chemical structure; spectrum prediction for a given chemical structure; and putative metabolite identification -- a predicted ranking of possible candidate structures for a target spectrum. The methods used are based on Competitive Fragmentation Modeling (CFM), a recently introduced probabilistic generative model for the MS/MS fragmentation process that uses machine learning techniques to learn its parameters from data. We present results of extensive testing of these algorithms on multiple datasets, showing that they out-perform existing methods such as MetFrag and FingerId.
