Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated thousands years of knowledge in herbal therapy, but the use formulas is still characterized by reliance on personal experience. Due to complex mechanism actions, it challenging discover effective for diseases integrating traditional experiences and modern pharmacological mechanisms multi-target interactions. In this study, we propose a formula prediction approach (TCMFP) combined therapy experience TCM, artificial intelligence network science algorithms screen optimal efficiently, which integrates herb score (Hscore) based importance targets, pair (Pscore) empirical learning predictive (FmapScore) intelligent optimization genetic algorithm. The validity Hscore, Pscore FmapScore was verified functional similarity topological evaluation. Moreover, TCMFP used successfully generate formulae three diseases, i.e. Alzheimer’s disease, asthma atherosclerosis. Functional enrichment analysis indicates efficacy targets predicted formula. proposed may provides new strategy formula, TCM herbs drug development.
