However, the existing CMI prediction models mainly rely on the nearest neighbor structure in the biological network, ignoring the molecular network topology, so it is difficult to improve the prediction performance. In this paper, we proposed a new CMI prediction method, BEROLECMI, which uses molecular sequence attributes, molecular self-similarity, and biological network topology to define the specific role feature representation for molecules to infer the new CMI. BEROLECMI effectively makes up for the lack of network topology in the CMI prediction model and achieves the highest prediction performance in three commonly used data sets. In the case study, 14 of the 15 pairs of unknown CMIs were correctly predicted.
