Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The identification of drug-target interactions (DTIs) is a key step in drug discovery, but existing models lack sufficient generalization and robustness when processing data from diverse sources with inconsistent distributions. To address this problem, we propose MSCL-DTI: a novel dual-channel supervised contrastive learning framework for DTI prediction. The model integrates sequence-based and structure-based multi-source joint representations. These features are aggregated via a fusion module and jointly optimized under the guidance of a supervised contrastive learning objective, ultimately forming a unified and highly discriminative latent representation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MSCL-DTI outperforms baseline models in both performance and generalization. Furthermore, the model was successfully applied to screen drugs for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, proving it to be an effective tool for discovering potential targeted drugs. Data and code are available at https://github.com/HelloJie14492IMSCL-DTI.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
