Abstract

Novel drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction is crucial in drug discovery and repositioning. Recently, graph neural network (GNN) has shown promising results in identifying DTI by using thresholds to construct heterogeneous graphs. However, an empirically selected threshold can lead to loss of valuable information, especially in sparse networks, a common scenario in DTI prediction. To make full use of insufficient information, we propose a DTI prediction model based on Dynamic Heterogeneous Graph (DT-DHG). And progressive learning is introduced to adjust the receptive fields of node. The experimental results show that our method significantly improves the performance of the original GNNs and is robust against the choices of backbones. Meanwhile, DT-DHG outperforms the state-of-the-art methods and effectively predicts novel DTIs. The source code is available at https://github.com/kissablemt/DT-DHG.
