A device may receive information identifying results of a set of spectroscopic measurements of a training set of known samples and a validation set of known samples. The device may generate a classification model based on the information identifying the results of the set of spectroscopic measurements, wherein the classification model includes at least one class relating to a material of interest for a spectroscopic determination, and wherein the classification model includes a no-match class relating to at least one of at least one material that is not of interest or a baseline spectroscopic measurement. The device may receive information identifying a particular result of a particular spectroscopic measurement of an unknown sample. The device may determine whether the unknown sample is included in the no-match class using the classification model. The device may provide output indicating whether the unknown sample is included in the no-match class.
