• Abstract: This paper presents a federated learning (FL) approach to train an AI model for SARS-Cov-2 variant classification. We analyze the SARS-CoV-2 spike sequences in a distributed way, without data sharing, to detect different variants of this rapidly mutating coronavirus. Our method maintains the confidentiality of local data (that could be stored in different locations) yet allows us to reliably detect and identify different known and unknown variants of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Using the proposed approach, we achieve an overall accuracy of $93\%$ on the coronavirus variant identification task. We also provide details regarding how the proposed model follows the main laws of federated learning, such as Laws of data ownership, data privacy, model aggregation, and model heterogeneity. Since the proposed model is distributed, it could scale on ``Big Data'' easily. We plan to use this proof-of-concept to implement a privacy-preserving pandemic response strategy.

  Conditional Latent space Variational Autoencoder (CL-VAE) improved pre-processing for anomaly detection on data with known inlier classes and unknown outlier classes. Model shows increased accuracy in anomaly detection, achieving an AUC of 97.4% on the MNIST dataset. In addition, the CL-VAE shows increased benefits from ensembling, a more interpretable latent space, and an increased ability to learn patterns in complex data with limited model sizes.

  We consider the problem of identifying the signal shared between two one-dimensional target variables. We propose ICM, an evaluation metric which can be used in the presence of ground-truth labels. We also propose Deep Canonical Information Decomposition (DCID) - a simple, yet effective approach for learning the shared variables.

  Universal Domain aims to transfer the knowledge between datasets by handling two shifts: domain-shift and categoryshift. Main challenge is correctly distinguishing the unknown target samples while adapting the distribution of known class knowledge from source to target. Most existing methods approach this problem by first training the target adapted known and then relying on the single threshold to distinguish unknown target samples.

  We introduce several ways to perturb SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences to mimic the error profiles of common sequencing platforms such as Illumina and PacBio. We show that some simulation-based approaches are more robust (and accurate) than others for specific embedding methods to certain adversarial attacks to the input sequences.

• Robust Representation and Efficient Feature Selection Allows for Effective Clustering of SARS-CoV-2 Variants [0.0]
  The SARS-CoV-2 virus contains different variants, each of them having different mutations. Much of the variation in the SARS-CoV-2 genome happens disproportionately in the spike region of the genome sequence. We propose an approach to cluster spike protein sequences in order to study the behavior of different known variants.

  A central challenge in training classification models in the real-world federated system is learning with non-IID data.

Experimental results demonstrate that CCVR state-of-the-art performance on popular federated learning benchmarks including CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and CINIC-10.
