• Abstract: COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly and caused a shortage of global medical resources. The efficiency of COVID-19 diagnosis has become highly significant. As deep learning and convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely utilized and been verified in analyzing medical images, it has become a powerful tool for computer-assisted diagnosis. However, there are two most significant challenges in medical image classification with the help of deep learning and neural networks, one of them is the difficulty of acquiring enough samples, which may lead to model overfitting. Privacy concerns mainly bring the other challenge since medical-related records are often deemed patients' private information and protected by laws such as GDPR and HIPPA. Federated learning can ensure the model training is decentralized on different devices and no data is shared among them, which guarantees privacy. However, with data located on different devices, the accessible data of each device could be limited. Since transfer learning has been verified in dealing with limited data with good performance, therefore, in this paper, We made a trial to implement federated learning and transfer learning techniques using CNNs to classify COVID-19 using lung CT scans. We also explored the impact of dataset distribution at the client-side in federated learning and the number of training epochs a model is trained. Finally, we obtained very high performance with federated learning, demonstrating our success in leveraging accuracy and privacy.

  In this paper, we take advantage of the inherent properties of neural networks to federate the process of training of survival analysis models. In the realistic setting of small medical datasets and only a few data centers, this noise makes it harder for the models to converge. We propose DPFed-post which adds a post-processing stage to the private federated learning scheme.
