An Interpretable Framework for Drug-Target Interaction with Gated Cross Attention [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
In silico prediction of drug-target interactions (DTI) is significant for drug discovery because it can largely reduce timelines and costs in the drug development process. Specifically, deep learning-based DTI approaches have been shown promising results in terms of accuracy and low cost for the prediction.
