An increasing number of studies have indicated that long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in many important biological processes. Predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations can improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of human diseases and aid in finding biomarkers for disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In this paper, we constructed a bipartite network based on known lncRNA-disease associations; based on this work, we proposed a novel model for inferring potential lncRNA-disease associations. Specifically, we analyzed the properties of the bipartite network and found that it closely followed a power-law distribution. Moreover, to evaluate the performance of our model, a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) framework was implemented, and the simulation results showed that our computational model significantly outperformed previous state-of-the-art models, with AUCs of 0.8825, 0.9004, and 0.9292 for known lncRNA-disease associations obtained from the LncRNADisease database, Lnc2Cancer database, and MNDR database, respectively. Thus, our approach may be an excellent addition to the biomedical research field in the future.
