Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In recent years, the association between metabolites and complex human diseases has increasingly been recognized as a major research focus. Traditional wet-lab experiments are considered time-consuming and labor-intensive, while computational methods have been shown to significantly enhance research efficiency. However, existing methods for predicting metabolite-disease associations primarily depend on predefined similarity metrics and static network structures, often failing to capture the complex interactions among node neighborhoods within metabolite and disease networks. This limitation hinders the capture of deeper dynamic relationships between metabolites and diseases, resulting in information loss and noise that deteriorate prediction performance.
