Abstract
En 中文
Predicting microbe-disease associations (MDA) is crucial for proactively demystifying diseases causes and preventing them. Traditional prediction methods endure labor-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive. Therefore, this paper proposes CasMF-GCL, a novel G raph C ontrastive L earning model based on sparse relation augmentation and a Cas caded M ulti -kernel F usion Network for MDA prediction. CasMF-GCL maximizes the use of sparse correlation information and eliminates data noise through an association augmentation technique based on low -rank sparse matrix completion. We employ diverse strategies to enhance the features of heterogeneous networks by exploring the similarity between microbes and diseases. Our model employs a new multi -layer graph convolutional network variant with a cascaded multi -kernel fusion mechanism, enabling weighted coding of local and global features for diseases and microbes. To further improve performance, we incorporate a self -supervised contrastive learning schema using multi -grain disease and microbe features and large-scale relation augmentations. Extensive experiments on two renowned datasets demonstrate that CasMFGCL outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in seven indexes. The AUC values from 5 -fold cross -validation are 0.997 and 0.989 for the two datasets, respectively. Ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of graph data augmentation, the power of the contrastive strategy, and the indispensability of the cascaded multi -kernel fusion network. Furthermore, case studies validate the prediction performance of CasMF-GCL.
