Abstract:
Various embodiments predict drug-disease associations. In one embodiment, a plurality of disease similarity matrices and a plurality of disease similarity matrices are accessed. Each of the plurality of drug similarity matrices is associated with a different drug information source. Each of the plurality of disease similarity matrices is associated with a different disease information source. A known drug-disease association matrix is also accessed. The known drug-disease association matrix indicates if a given drug identified is known to treat a given disease. At least one drug-disease association prediction is generated based on the plurality of drug similarity matrices, the plurality of disease similarity matrices, and the known drug-disease association matrix. The at least one drug-disease association prediction identifies a previously unknown association between a given drug and a given disease, and a probability that the given disease is treatable by the given drug.
