Inferring drug-associated traits such as drug targets, drug indications and drug-drug interactions is essential for drug development and drug administration. I will present a novel method for the large-scale prediction of such traits able to handle both approved drugs and novel molecules. Our method is based on the observation that similar drugs tend to associate with similar traits and utilizes various similarity measures for the prediction task. Furthermore, our method is utilized for inferring causative factors of drug-drug interactions and can be extended to handle personalized medicine.
