Accurate identification of the miRNA-disease associations (MDAs) helps to understand the etiology and mechanisms of various diseases. However, the experimental methods are costly and time-consuming. Thus, it is urgent to develop computational methods towards the prediction of MDAs.

Identifying drug-target interactions (DTIs) is an important step for drug discovery and drug repositioning. To reduce the experimental cost, a large number of computational approaches have been proposed for this task. The machine learning-based models, especially binary classification models, have been developed to predict whether a drug-target pair interacts or not.

Drug-target interactions (DTIs) play a crucial role in target-based drug discovery and development. Computational prediction of DTIs can effectively complement experimental wet-lab techniques for the identification of DTIs, which are typically time- and resource-consuming. However, the performances of the current DTI prediction approaches suffer from a problem of low precision and high false-positive rate.
