Abstract

CircRNAs have a stable structure, which gives them a higher tolerance to nucleases. Therefore, the properties of circular RNAs are beneficial in disease diagnosis. However, there are few known associations between circRNAs and disease. Biological experiments identify new associations is time-consuming and high-cost. As a result, there is a need of building efficient and achievable computation models to predict potential circRNA-disease associations. In this paper, we design a novel convolution neural networks framework(DMFCNNCD) to learn features from deep matrix factorization to predict circRNA-disease associations. Firstly, we decompose the circRNA-disease association matrix to obtain the original features of the disease and circRNA, and use the mapping module to extract potential nonlinear features. Then, we integrate it with the similarity information to form a training set. Finally, we apply convolution neural networks to predict the unknown association between circRNAs and diseases. The five-fold cross-validation on various experiments shows that our method can predict circRNA-disease association and outperforms state of the art methods.
