Deep learning and machine intelligence: New computational modeling techniques for discovery of the combination rules and pharmacodynamic characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine

It has been increasingly accepted that Multi-Ingredient-Based interventions provide advantages over single-target therapy for complex diseases. With the growing development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and continually being refined of a holistic view, "multi-target" and "multi-pathway" integration characteristics of which are being accepted. However, its effector substances, efficacy targets, especially the combination rules and mechanisms remain unclear, and more powerful strategies to interpret the synergy are urgently needed. Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision lead to a rapidly expanding in many fields, including diagnosis and treatment of TCM. AI technology significantly improves the reliability and accuracy of diagnostics, target screening, and new drug research. While all AI techniques are capable of matching models to biological big data, the specific methods are complex and varied. Retrieves literature by the keywords such as "artificial intelligence", "machine learning", "deep learning", "traditional Chinese medicine" and "Chinese medicine". Search the application of computer algorithms of TCM between 2000 and 2021 in PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Elsevier and Springer. This review concentrates on the application of computational in herb quality evaluation, drug target discovery, optimized compatibility and medical diagnoses of TCM. We describe the characteristics of biological data for which different AI techniques are applicable, and discuss some of the best data mining methods and the problems faced by deep learning and machine learning methods applied to Chinese medicine.
