The support vector machine (SVM) has been spotlighted in the machine learning community because of its theoretical soundness and practical performance. When applied to a large data set, however, it requires a large memory and a long time for training. To cope with the practical difficulty, we propose a pattern selection algorithm based on neighborhood properties. The idea is to select only the patterns that are likely to be located near the decision boundary. Those patterns are expected to be mo

Our proposed algorithm, 'SSL Co-training', implements this concept based on SSL. SSL Co-training was tested using the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database for breast cancer and it delivered a mean accuracy of 76% and a mean area under the curve of 0.81.

MOTIVATION: Predicting protein function is a central problem in bioinformatics, and many approaches use partially or fully automated methods based on various combination of sequence, structure and other information on proteins or genes. Such information establishes relationships between proteins that can be modelled most naturally as edges in graphs. A priori, however, it is often unclear which edges from which graph may contribute most to accurate predictions. For that reason, one established s

MOTIVATION: Polypharmacy side effects should be carefully considered for new drug development. However, considering all the complex drug-drug interactions that cause polypharmacy side effects is challenging. Recently, graph neural network (GNN) models have handled these complex interactions successfully and shown great predictive performance. Nevertheless, the GNN models have difficulty providing intelligible factors of the prediction for biomedical and pharmaceutical domain experts. METHOD: A n

BACKGROUND: Drug repurposing has been motivated to ameliorate low probability of success in drug discovery. For the recent decade, many in silico attempts have received primary attention as a first step to alleviate the high cost and longevity. Such study has taken benefits of abundance, variety, and easy accessibility of pharmaceutical and biomedical data. Utilizing the research friendly environment, in this study, we propose a network-based machine learning algorithm for drug repurposing. Part
