description Abstract Background The experimental verification of a drug discovery process is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, efficiently and effectively identifying drug–target interactions (DTIs) has been the focus of research. At present, many machine learning algorithms are used for predicting DTIs. The key idea is to train the classifier using an existing DTI to predict a new or unknown DTI. However, there are various challenges, such as class imbalance and the parameter optimization of many classifiers, that need to be solved before an optimal DTI model is developed. Methods In this study, we propose a framework called SSELM-neg for DTI prediction, in which we use a screening approach to choose high-quality negative samples and a spherical search approach to optimize the parameters of the extreme learning machine. Results The results demonstrated that the proposed technique outperformed other state-of-the-art methods in 10-fold cross-validation experiments in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.986, 0.993, 0.988, and 0.969) and AUPR (0.982, 0.991, 0.982, and 0.946) for the enzyme dataset, G-protein coupled receptor dataset, ion channel dataset, and nuclear receptor dataset, respectively. Conclusion The screening approach produced high-quality negative samples with the same number of positive samples, which solved the class imbalance problem. We optimized an extreme learning machine using a spherical search approach to identify DTIs. Therefore, our models performed better than other state-of-the-art methods.
