NeuRank: learning to rank with neural networks for drug–target interaction prediction

Abstract Background Experimental verification of a drug discovery process is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, recently, the demand to more efficiently and effectively identify drug–target interactions (DTIs) has intensified. Results We treat the prediction of DTIs as a ranking problem and pr...
