arXiv:2607. 04557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles.

Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles. Preclinical transfer-learning models can simulate drug-induced expression changes but are often hard to interpret and unstable, whereas knowledge-graph methods provide mechanistic context yet remain static and fail to capture drug-induced transcriptomic perturbation dynamics.

ProbeMatchDTI is a new framework for drug‑target interaction prediction that uses probe‑driven pattern matching to preserve weak biochemical signals. It introduces IterProbe, which retains contextual states across refinement depths and selects them with learnable probes, and BindingProbe, which models drug‑protein complementarity at both local and whole‑pair levels. Experiments show that ProbeMatchDTI outperforms existing methods, improving AUC‑ROC by 2.0% on BindingDB and 0.5% on DrugBank, and its predictions can be integrated into downstream drug‑discovery workflows.
