[Drug-target protein interaction prediction based on AdaBoost algorithm].

The drug-target protein interaction prediction can be used for the discovery of new drug effects. Recent studies often focus on the prediction of an independent matrix filling algorithm, which apply a single algorithm to predict the drug-target protein interaction. The single-model matrix-filling algorithms have low accuracy, so it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results in the prediction of drug-target protein interaction. AdaBoost algorithm is a strong multiple classifier combination framework, which is proved by the past researches in classification applications. The drug-target interaction prediction is a matrix filling problem. Therefore, we need to adjust the matrix filling problem to a classification problem before predicting the interaction among drug-target protein. We make full use of the AdaBoost algorithm framework to integrate several weak classifiers to improve performance and make accurate prediction of drug-target protein interaction. Experimental results based on the metric datasets show that our algorithm outperforms the other state-of-the-art approaches and classical methods in accuracy. Our algorithm can overcome the limitations of the single algorithm based on machine learning method, exploit the hidden factors better and improve the accuracy of prediction effectively.
