MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded noncoding RNAs that have shown to play a critical role in regulating gene expression. In past decades, cumulative experimental studies have verified that miRNAs are implicated in many complex human diseases and might be potential biomarkers for various types of diseases. With the increase of miRNA-related data and the development of analysis methodologies, some computational methods have been developed for predicting miRNA-disease associations, which are more economical and time-saving than traditional biological experimental approaches. In this study, a novel computational model, deep belief network (DBN)-based matrix factorization (DBN-MF), is proposed for miRNA-disease association prediction. First, the raw interaction features of miRNAs and diseases were obtained from the miRNA-disease adjacent matrix. Second, 2 DBNs were used for unsupervised learning of the features of miRNAs and diseases, respectively, based on the raw interaction features. Finally, a classifier consisting of 2 DBNs and a cosine score function was trained with the initial weights of DBN from the last step. During the training, the miRNA-disease adjacent matrix was factorized into 2 feature matrices for the representation of miRNAs and diseases, and the final prediction label was obtained according to the feature matrices. The experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in miRNA-disease association prediction based on the 10-fold cross-validation. Besides, the effectiveness of our model was further demonstrated by case studies.
