Abstract Background: Because it is so laborious and expensive to experimentally identify Drug-Target Interactions (DTIs), only a few DTIs have been verified. Computational methods are useful for identifying DTIs in biological studies of drug discovery and development. Results: For drug-target interaction prediction, we propose a novel neural network architecture, DAEi, extended from Denoising AutoEncoder (DAE). We assume that a set of verified DTIs is a corrupted version of the full interaction set. We use DAEi to learn latent features from corrupted DTIs to reconstruct the full input. Also, to better predict DTIs, we add some similarities to DAEi and adopt a new nonlinear method for calculation. Similarity information is very effective at improving the prediction of DTIs. Conclusion: Results of the extensive experiments we conducted on four real data sets show that our proposed methods are superior to other baseline approaches.Availability: All codes in this paper are open-sourced, and our projects are available at: https://github.com/XiuzeZhou/DAEi.

Abstract Summary Accurate prediction of drug–target interactions (DTI) is crucial for drug discovery. Recently, deep learning (DL) models for show promising performance for DTI prediction. However, these models can be difficult to use for both computer scientists entering the biomedical field and bioinformaticians with limited DL experience. We present DeepPurpose, a comprehensive and easy-to-use DL library for DTI prediction. DeepPurpose supports training of customized DTI prediction models by implementing 15 compound and protein encoders and over 50 neural architectures, along with providing many other useful features. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance of DeepPurpose on several benchmark datasets. Availability and implementation https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.
