AI explainability audit probes drug-target interaction models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the explainability of black-box drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction models, specifically auditing the BridgeDPI architecture. The study employs a combination of gradient-based attribution methods and feature-wise occlusion to understand how these models utilize sequence, fingerprint, and graph features. The findings suggest that explainability can serve as a critical tool for model evaluation, revealing issues like modality dominance, artifactual patterns, and dataset-specific behaviors, thereby generating hypotheses for further validation in drug discovery. AI
