• Abstract summary: We show that our framework can be effectively optimized through expectation (EM) over latent master's distribution and clients' parameters. We tested our method on the analysis of multi-modal medical imaging data and clinical scores from distributed clinical datasets of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease.

• Abstract: We propose a novel federated learning paradigm to model data variability among heterogeneous clients in multi-centric studies. Our method is expressed through a hierarchical Bayesian latent variable model, where client-specific parameters are assumed to be realization from a global distribution at the master level, which is in turn estimated to account for data bias and variability across clients. We show that our framework can be effectively optimized through expectation maximization (EM) over latent master's distribution and clients' parameters. We also introduce formal differential privacy (DP) guarantees compatibly with our EM optimization scheme. We tested our method on the analysis of multi-modal medical imaging data and clinical scores from distributed clinical datasets of patients affected by Alzheimer's disease. We demonstrate that our method is robust when data is distributed either in iid and non-iid manners, even when local parameters perturbation is included to provide DP guarantees. Moreover, the variability of data, views and centers can be quantified in an interpretable manner, while guaranteeing high-quality data reconstruction as compared to state-of-the-art autoencoding models and federated learning schemes.

  We introduce a novel algorithm, which we term Cross-silo Robust Clustered Federated Learning (CS-RCFL) We construct ambiguity sets around each client's empirical distribution that capture possible distribution shifts in the local data. We then propose a model-agnostic integer fractional program to determine the optimal distributionally robust clustering of clients into coalitions.

  We propose a novel approach to Personalized Federated Learning (PFL), which utilizes Gaussian mixture models (GMM) to fit the input data distributions across diverse clients. FedGMM possesses an additional advantage of adapting to new clients with minimal overhead, and it also enables uncertainty quantification. Empirical evaluations on synthetic and benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our method in both PFL classification and novel sample detection.
