This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning (AMVL) to improve drug repurposing by integrating diverse data sources. AMVL enhances predictions of drug-disease associations, accelerating drug discovery and translational medicine.
Area of Science:
- Computational biology and bioinformatics
- Drug discovery and development
- Translational medicine
Background:
- Traditional drug development is costly and time-consuming.
- Existing drug repurposing methods often use limited data and simplistic hypotheses.
- There is a need for advanced computational approaches to integrate complex biological data for drug repurposing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce adaptive multi-view learning (AMVL), a novel methodology for enhanced drug repurposing.
- To integrate chemical-induced transcriptional profiles (CTPs), knowledge graph (KG) embeddings, and large language model (LLM) representations.
- To improve the accuracy and efficiency of predicting drug-disease associations.
Main Methods:
- Adaptive multi-view learning (AMVL) framework.
- Integration of CTPs, KG embeddings, and LLM representations.
- Similarity matrix expansion, multi-view learning (MVL), matrix factorization, and ensemble optimization.
- Evaluation on benchmark (Fdataset, Cdataset, Ydataset) and iDrug datasets.
Main Results:
- AMVL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods in predicting drug-disease associations.
- Achieved superior accuracy across multiple metrics on benchmark and large-scale datasets.
- Literature-based validation confirmed predictive capabilities, with 70% of top predictions corroborated by recent evidence.
Conclusions:
- AMVL provides a robust and scalable solution for accelerating drug discovery.
- The methodology effectively integrates diverse data modalities for enhanced drug repurposing.
- Open-sourced data and code promote transparency, reproducibility, and further innovation in translational medicine.
