• Abstract summary: Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning approach that aims to construct from local inferences in separate data centers. We implement an alternative Bayesian Federated Inference (BFI) framework for multicenter data with the same aim as FL. We quantify the performance of the proposed methodology on simulated and real life data.

• Abstract: Identifying predictive factors for an outcome of interest via a multivariable analysis is often difficult when the data set is small. Combining data from different medical centers into a single (larger) database would alleviate this problem, but is in practice challenging due to regulatory and logistic problems. Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning approach that aims to construct from local inferences in separate data centers what would have been inferred had the data sets been merged. It seeks to harvest the statistical power of larger data sets without actually creating them. The FL strategy is not always efficient and precise. Therefore, in this paper we refine and implement an alternative Bayesian Federated Inference (BFI) framework for multicenter data with the same aim as FL. The BFI framework is designed to cope with small data sets by inferring locally not only the optimal parameter values, but also additional features of the posterior parameter distribution, capturing information beyond what is used in FL. BFI has the additional benefit that a single inference cycle across the centers is sufficient, whereas FL needs multiple cycles. We quantify the performance of the proposed methodology on simulated and real life data.

  This paper proposes a novel DFL aggregation algorithm, Federated Entropy Pooling (FedEP) FedEP mitigates the client drift problem by incorporating the statistical characteristics of local distributions instead of any actual data. Experiments have demonstrated that FedEP can achieve faster convergence and show higher test performance than state-of-the-art approaches.

• A Framework for testing Federated Learning algorithms using an edge-like environment [0.0]
  Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning paradigm in which many clients cooperatively train a single centralized model while keeping their data private and decentralized. It is non-trivial to accurately evaluate the contributions of local models in global centralized model aggregation. This is an example of a major challenge in FL, commonly known as data imbalance or class imbalance. In this work, a framework is proposed and implemented to assess FL algorithms in a more easy and scalable way.

  Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training of machine learning models on decentralized data.

We propose a novel Bayesian PFL framework using bi-level optimization to tackle the data heterogeneity challenges.
