The hERG channel is one of the essential ion channels composing the cardiac action potential and the toxicity assay for new drug. Recently, the comprehensive in vitro proarrhythmia assay (CiPA) was adopted for cardiac toxicity evaluation. One of the hurdles for this protocol is identifying the kinetic effect of the new drug on the hERG channel. This procedure included the model-based parameter identification from the experiments. There are many mathematical methods to infer the parameters; however, there are two main difficulties in fitting parameters. The first is that, depending on the data and model, parametric inference can be highly time-consuming. The second is that the fitting can fail due to local minima problems. The simplest and most effective way to solve these issues is to provide an appropriate initial value. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based method for improving model fitting by providing appropriate initial values, even the right answer. We generated the dataset by changing the model parameters and trained our deep learning-based model. To improve the accuracy, we used the spectrogram with time, frequency, and amplitude. We obtained the experimental dataset from . Then, we trained the deep-learning model using the data generated with the hERG model and tested the validity of the deep-learning model with the experimental data. We successfully identified the initial value, significantly improved the fitting speed, and avoided fitting failure. This method is useful when the model is fixed and reflects the real data, and it can be applied to any in silico model for various purposes, such as new drug development, toxicity identification, environmental effect, etc. This method will significantly reduce the time and effort to analyze the data.
