Off-the-shelf biomedical embeddings obtained from the recently released various pre-trained language models (such as BERT, XLNET) have demonstrated state-of-the-art results (in terms of accuracy) for the various natural language…
Most of the existing medicine recommendation systems that are mainly based on electronic medical records (EMRs) are significantly assisting doctors to make better clinical decisions benefiting both patients and caregivers. Even though the…
Drug synergy arises when the combined impact of two drugs exceeds the sum of their individual effects. While single-drug effects on cell lines are well-documented, the scarcity of data on drug synergy, considering the vast array of…
The polypharmacy side effect prediction problem considers cases in which two drugs taken individually do not result in a particular side effect; however, when the two drugs are taken in combination, the side effect manifests. In this work,…
Natural language processing (NLP) is utilized in a wide range of fields, where words in text are typically transformed into feature vectors called embeddings. BioConceptVec is a specific example of embeddings tailored for biology, trained…
Knowledge graph (KG) is used to represent data in terms of entities and structural relations between the entities. This representation can be used to solve complex problems such as recommendation systems and question answering. In this…
The extraction of biomedical data has significant academic and practical value in contemporary biomedical sciences. In recent years, drug repositioning, a cost-effective strategy for drug development by discovering new indications for…
Repositioning drug-disease relationships has always been a hot field of research. However, actual cases of biologically validated drug relocation remain very limited, and existing models have not yet fully utilized the structural…
Many drug delivery systems suffer from undesirable interactions with the host immune system. It has been experimentally established that covalent attachment (irreversible adsorption) of suitable macromolecules to the surface of the drug…
Co-administration of two or more drugs simultaneously can result in adverse drug reactions. Identifying drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is necessary, especially for drug development and for repurposing old drugs. DDI prediction can be viewed…
We propose Embedding Propagation (EP), an unsupervised learning framework for graph-structured data. EP learns vector representations of graphs by passing two types of messages between neighboring nodes. Forward messages consist of label…
Most existing methods for predicting drug-drug interactions (DDI) predominantly concentrate on capturing the explicit relationships among drugs, overlooking the valuable implicit correlations present between drug pairs (DPs), which leads to…
Graph embedding is a transformation of nodes of a network into a set of vectors. A good embedding should capture the underlying graph topology and structure, node-to-node relationship, and other relevant information about the graph, its…
Recent years have witnessed the rapid accumulation of massive electronic medical records (EMRs), which highly support the intelligent medical services such as drug recommendation. However, prior arts mainly follow the traditional…
Knowledge graphs are powerful tools for representing and organising complex biomedical data. Several knowledge graph embedding algorithms have been proposed to learn from and complete knowledge graphs. However, a recent study demonstrates…
Spectral embedding finds vector representations of the nodes of a network, based on the eigenvectors of a properly constructed matrix, and has found applications throughout science and technology. Many networks are multipartite, meaning…
Hyperbolic geometry has emerged as an effective latent space for representing complex networks, owing to its ability to capture hierarchical organization and heterogeneous connectivity patterns using low-dimensional embeddings. As a result,…
A graphical model is a statistical model that is associated to a graph whose nodes correspond to variables of interest. The edges of the graph reflect allowed conditional dependencies among the variables. Graphical models admit…
Motivation: Drug combination is a sensible strategy for disease treatment by improving the efficacy and reducing concomitant side effects. Due to the large number of possible combinations among candidate compounds, exhaustive screening is…
Predicting medications is a crucial task in many intelligent healthcare systems. It can assist doctors in making informed medication decisions for patients according to electronic medical records (EMRs). However, medication prediction is a…
