Scripts for "Efficient Hyperparameter Optimization by Using Bayesian Optimization for Drug-Target Interaction Prediction"

A Bayesian optimization technique enables a short search time for a complex prediction model that includes many hyperparameters while maintaining the accuracy of the prediction model. Here, we apply a Bayesian optimization technique to the drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction problem as a method for computational drug discovery. We target neighborhood regularized logistic matrix factorization (NRLMF) (Liu et al., 2016), which is a state-of-the-art DTI prediction method, and accelerated parameter searches with the Gaussian process mutual information (GP-MI). Experimental results with four general benchmark datasets show that our GP-MI-based method obtained an 8.94-fold decrease in the computational time on average and almost the same predicted area under the curve (AUC) for all datasets compared to those of a grid parameter search, which was generally used in DTI predictions. Moreover, if a slight accuracy reduction (approximately 0.002 for AUC) is allowed, an increase in the calculation speed of 18 times or more can be obtained. Our results show for the first time that Bayesian optimization works effectively for the DTI prediction problem. By accelerating the time-consuming parameter search, the most advanced model can be used even if the number of drug candidates and target proteins to be predicted increase.

Requirements

Python

You need to use Python 3.x for executing this scripts. We recommends that you use Anaconda 2.4.0 to set up python environment. This script was created by using Python 3.5.2. For Python 3.5.2 please refer to the following URL.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/

Python packages

In addition, we use Numpy, scikit-learn (ver. 0.18.1 and above), scipy, pymatbridge (required only when using KBMF 2K) as Python package. For each package please refer to the following URL.
− Numpy: http://www.numpy.org/
− scikit-learn: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/
− scipy: http://www.scipy.org/
− pymatbridge: http://arokem.github.io/python-matlab-bridge/

Datasets

In order to execute the script, the Drug-Target Interaction data set created by Yamanishi et al. Is necessary. The data set can be downloaded from the following URL.
http://web.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/supp/yoshi/drugtarget/
− nr_admat_dgc.txt, nr_simmat_dc.txt, nr_simmat_dg.txt
− gpcr_admat_dgc.txt, gpcr_simmat_dc.txt, gpcr_simmat_dg.txt

Usage

You can specify the following options

gpmi ... GPMI algorithm can be used instead of grid search
- delta ... Adjust the balance between exploration and usage: delta > 0
- max_iter ... Specify the maximum value of iteration (number of combinations of parameters): max_iter > 0
- n_init ... Specify the initial number of samples: n_init > 0
seed ... Fix the division of cross validation
job-id ... Specify the job id
workdir ... Specify the directory to output log files

For other, please refer to PyDTI
