Since prediction of DTI using laboratory tests is time consuming and laborious, automated tools using computational intelligence (CI) techniques become essential. The prediction of DTI is a challenging process due to the absence of known drug-target relationship and no experimentally verified negative samples. The datasets with limited or unbalanced data, do not perform well. The models that use heterogeneous networks, non-linear fusion techniques, and heuristic similarity selection may need a lot of computational power and experience to implement and fine-tune. The latest developments in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models can be employed for effective DTI prediction process.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>To that end, this study develops a novel DTI Prediction model, namely, DTIP-WINDGRU Drug-Target Interaction Prediction with Wind-Enhanced GRU. The major aim is to determine the DTIs in both labelled and unlabelled samples accurately compared to traditional wet lab experiments. To accomplish this, the proposed DTIP-WINDGRU model primarily performs pre-processing and class labelling. In addition, drug-to-drug (D-D) and target-to-target (T-T) interactions are employed to initialize the weights of the GRU model and are employed for the, DTI prediction process. Finally, the Wind Driven Optimization (WDO) algorithm is utilized to optimally choose the hyperparameters involved in the GRU model.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>For ensuring the effectual prediction results of the DTIP-WINDGRU model, a widespread experimentation process was carried out using four datasets.
