However, with strict high-throughput techniques based on traditional biological experiments and the conditions and environment, the association between circRNA and miRNA can be discovered to be labor-intensive, expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. In this paper, we proposed a novel computational model based on Word2vec, Structural Deep Network Embedding (SDNE), Convolutional Neural Network and Deep Neural Network, which predicts the potential circRNA-miRNA associations, called Word2vec, SDNE, Convolutional Neural Network and Deep Neural Network (WSCD). Specifically, the WSCD model extracts attribute feature and behaviour feature by word embedding and graph embedding algorithm, respectively, and ultimately feed them into a feature fusion model constructed by combining Convolutional Neural Network and Deep Neural Network to deduce potential circRNA-miRNA interactions. The proposed method is proved on dataset and obtained a prediction accuracy and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 81.61% and 0.8898, respectively, which is shown to have much higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art models and classifier models in prediction. In addition, 23 miRNA-related circular RNAs (circRNAs) from the top 30 were confirmed in relevant experiences. In these works, all results represent that WSCD would be a helpful supplementary reliable method for predicting potential miRNA-circRNA associations compared to wet laboratory experiments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbac391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,11]],"date-time":"2022-09-11T07:44:03Z","timestamp":1662882243000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["A
