Drug–target interaction predication via multi-channel graph neural networks
Abstract
Drug-target interaction (DTI) is an important step in drug discovery. Although there are many methods for predicting drug targets, these methods have limitations in using discrete or manual feature representations. In recent years, deep learning methods have been used to predict DTIs to improve these defects. However, most of the existing deep learning methods lack the fusion of topological structure and semantic information in DPP representation learning process. Besides, when learning the DPP node representation in the DPP network, the different influences between neighboring nodes are ignored. In this paper, a new model DTI-MGNN based on multi-channel graph convolutional network and graph attention is proposed for DTI prediction. We use two independent graph attention networks to learn the different interactions between nodes for the topology graph and feature graph with different strengths. At the same time, we use a graph convolutional network with shared weight matrices to learn the common information of the two graphs. The DTI-MGNN model combines topological structure and semantic features to improve the representation learning ability of DPPs, and obtain the state-of-the-art results on public datasets. Specifically, DTI-MGNN has achieved a high accuracy in identifying DTIs (the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is 0.9665).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
