Overfit deep neural network for predicting drug-target interactions.

ABSTRACT: Drug-target interactions (DTIs) prediction is an important step in drug discovery. As traditional biological experiments or high-throughput screening are high cost and time-consuming, many deep learning models have been developed. Overfitting must be avoided when training deep learning models. We propose a simple framework, called OverfitDTI, for DTI prediction. In OverfitDTI, a deep neural network (DNN) model is overfit to sufficiently learn the features of the chemical space of drugs and the biological space of targets. The weights of trained DNN model form an implicit representation of the nonlinear relationship between drugs and targets. Performance of OverfitDTI on three public datasets showed that the overfit DNN models fit the nonlinear relationship with high accuracy. We identified
