Prediction of miRNA-disease associations based on strengthened hypergraph convolutional autoencoder.

Most existing graph neural network-based methods for predicting miRNA-disease associations rely on initial association matrices to pass messages, but the sparsity of these matrices greatly limits performance. To address this issue and predict potential associations between miRNAs and diseases, we propose a method called strengthened hypergraph convolutional autoencoder (SHGAE). SHGAE leverages multiple layers of strengthened hypergraph neural networks (SHGNN) to obtain robust node embeddings.

LUNCRW: Prediction of potential lncRNA-disease associations based on unbalanced neighborhood constraint random walk.

Accumulating evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with various complex human diseases. They can serve as disease biomarkers and hold considerable promise for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. The traditional random walk algorithms generally exclude the effect of non-neighboring nodes on random walking.

Predicting lncRNA-disease associations based on combining selective similarity matrix fusion and bidirectional linear neighborhood label propagation.

Recent studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely linked to several human diseases, providing new opportunities for their use in detection and therapy. Many graph propagation and similarity fusion approaches can be used for predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations. However, existing similarity fusion approaches suffer from noise and self-similarity loss in the fusion process.
