Conducting traditional wet experiments to guide drug development is an expensive, time-consuming and risky process. Analyzing drug function and repositioning plays a key role in identifying new therapeutic potential of approved drugs and discovering therapeutic approaches for untreated diseases. Exploring drug-disease associations has far-reaching implications for identifying disease pathogenesis and treatment. However, reliable detection of drug-disease relationships via traditional methods is costly and slow. Therefore, investigations into computational methods for predicting drug-disease associations are currently needed.
