| 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar MiRAGE: A Data-Driven Approach to Drug Repositioning and Target Interaction Prediction School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES In this work, we present two machine learning-based approaches for predicting drug-disease and drug-target interactions, with a strong emphasis on the role of meaningful feature selection. While deep learning models have shown great potential in biomedical domains, their complexity often comes at the cost of interpretability a crucial factor in clinical and pharmacological applications. Our research demonstrates that when biologically relevant and informative features are carefully engineered, classical machine learning models can achieve competitive performance while offering greater transparency. By leveraging domain knowledge to extract f ... |
