Recent studies have found that lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) in ncRNA (non-coding RNA) is not only involved in many biological processes, but also abnormally expressed in many complex diseases. Identification of lncRNA-disease associations accurately is of great significance for understanding the function of lncRNA and disease mechanism. In this paper, a deep learning framework consisting of stacked autoencoder(SAE), multi-scale ResNet and stacked ensemble module, named DHNLDA, was constructed to predict lncRNA-disease associations, which integrates multiple biological data sources and constructing feature matrices. Among them, the biological data including the similarity and the interaction of lncRNAs, diseases and miRNAs are integrated. The feature matrices are obtained by node2vec embedding and feature extraction respectively. Then, the SAE and the multi-scale ResNet are used to learn the complementary information between nodes, and the high-level features of node attributes are obtained. Finally, the fusion of high-level feature is input into the stacked ensemble module to obtain the prediction results of lncRNA-disease associations. The experimental results of five-fold cross-validation show that the AUC of DHNLDA reaches 0.975 better than the existing methods. Case studies of stomach cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer have shown the great ability of DHNLDA to discover the potential lncRNA-disease associations.
