Abstract

BACKGROUND: Drug-Drug interactions (DDIs) are a challenging problem in drug research. Drug combination therapy is an effective solution to treat diseases, but it can also cause serious side effects. Therefore, DDIs prediction is critical in pharmacology. Recently, researchers have been using deep learning techniques to predict DDIs. However, these methods only consider single information of the drug and have shortcomings in robustness and scalability.
