Numerous studies have reported that micro RNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in disease pathogenesis based on the deregulation of the expressions of target messenger RNAs. Therefore, the identification of disease-related miRNAs is of great significance in understanding human complex diseases, which can also provide insight into the design of novel prognostic markers and disease therapies. Considering the time and cost involved in wet experiments, most recent works have focused on the effective and feasible modeling of computational frameworks to uncover miRNA-disease associations. In this study, we propose a novel framework called node2vec-based neural collaborative filtering for predicting miRNA-disease association (NCMD) based on deep neural networks. Initially, NCMD exploits Node2vec to learn low-dimensional vector representations of miRNAs and diseases. Next, it utilizes a deep learning framework that combines the linear ability of generalized matrix factorization and nonlinear ability of a multilayer perceptron. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the comparable performance of NCMD relative to the state-of-the-art methods according to statistical measures. In addition, case studies on breast cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer validate the effectiveness of NCMD. Extensive experiments demonstrate the benefits of modeling a neural collaborative-filtering-based approach for discovering novel miRNA-disease associations.
