DTI-CDF: a cascade deep forest model towards the prediction of drug-target interactions based on hybrid features

Drug–target interactions (DTIs) play a crucial role in target-based drug discovery and development. Computational prediction of DTIs can effectively complement experimental wet-lab techniques for the identification of DTIs, which are typically time- and resource-consuming. However, the performances of the current DTI prediction approaches suffer from a problem of low precision and high false-positive rate. In this study, we aim to develop a...
