Barlow Twins deep neural network for advanced 1D drug–target interaction prediction by Maximilian G. Schuh, Davide Boldini, Annkathrin I. Bohne, Stephan A. Sieber

“…We also propose the use of an influence method to investigate how the model reaches its decision based on individual training samples. By comparing co-crystal structures, we find that BarlowDTI effectively exploits catalytically active and stabilising residues, highlighting the model’s ability to generalise from one-dimensional input data. …”
