Abstract
Drug combination therapy has become a common strategy for the treatment of complex diseases. There is an urgent need for computational methods to efficiently identify appropriate drug combinations owing to the high cost of experimental screening. In recent years, deep learning has been widely used in the field of drug discovery. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on deep-learning-based drug combination prediction algorithms from multiple aspects. Current studies highlight the flexibility of this technology in integrating multimodal data and the ability to achieve state-of-art performance; it is expected that deep-learning-based prediction of drug combinations should play an important part in future drug discovery.
