description circRNA is a novel class of noncoding RNA with closed-loop structure. Increasing biological experiments have shown that circRNAs play an important role in many diseases by acting as a miRNA sponge to indirectly regulate the expression of miRNA target genes. Therefore, predicting associations between circRNAs and miRNAs can promote the understanding of pathogenesis of disease. In this paper, we propose a new computational method, NECMA, based on network embedding to predict potential associations between circRNAs and miRNAs. In our method, the Gaussian interaction profile (GIP) kernel similarities of circRNA and miRNA are calculated based on the known circRNA-miRNA associations, respectively. Then, the circRNA-miRNA association network, circRNA GIP kernel similarity network, and miRNA GIP kernel similarity network are utilized to construct the heterogeneous network. Furthermore, the network embedding algorithm is used to extract potential features of circRNA and miRNA from the heterogeneous network, respectively. Finally, the associations between circRNAs and miRNAs are predicted by using neighborhood regularization logic matrix decomposition and inner product. The performance of NECMA is evaluated by using ten-fold cross-validation. The results show that this method has better prediction accuracy than other state-of-the-art methods.
