Abstract
Identifying drug-target interactions (DTIs) plays an important role in the field of drug discovery, drug side-effects, and drug repositioning. However, in vivo or biochemical experimental methods for identifying new DTIs are extremely expensive and time-consuming. Recently, in silico or various computational methods have been developed for DTI prediction, such as ligand-based approaches and docking approaches, but these traditional computational methods have several limitations. This work utilizes the chemogenomic-based approaches for efficiently identifying potential DTI candidates, namely, self-paced learning with collaborative matrix factorization based on weighted low-rank approximation (SPLCMF) for DTI prediction, which integrates multiple networks related to drugs and targets into regularized least-squares and focuses on learning a low-dimensional vector representation of features. The SPLCMF framework can select samples from easy to complex into training by using soft weighting, which is inclined to more faithfully reflect the latent importance of samples in training. Experimental results on synthetic data and five benchmark data sets show that our proposed SPLCMF outperforms other existing state-of-the-art approaches. These results indicate that our proposed SPLCMF can provide a useful tool to predict unknown DTIs, which may provide new insights into drug discovery, drug side-effect prediction, and repositioning existing drug.
