MDDI-SCL: predicting multi-type drug-drug interactions via supervised contrastive learning.

The joint use of multiple drugs may cause unintended drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and result in adverse consequence to the patients. Accurate identification of DDI types can not only provide hints to avoid these accidental events, but also elaborate the underlying mechanisms by how DDIs occur. Several computational methods have been proposed for multi-type DDI prediction, but room remains for improvement in prediction performance.
