• Abstract: The volume of open-source biomedical data has been essential to the development of various spheres of the healthcare community since more `free' data can provide individual researchers more chances to contribute. However, institutions often hesitate to share their data with the public due to the risk of data exploitation by unauthorized third parties for another commercial usage (e.g., training AI models). This phenomenon might hinder the development of the whole healthcare research community. To address this concern, we propose a novel approach termed `unlearnable biomedical image' for protecting biomedical data by injecting imperceptible but delusive noises into the data, making them unexploitable for AI models. We formulate the problem as a bi-level optimization and propose three kinds of anti-learning perturbation generation approaches to solve the problem. Our method is an important step toward encouraging more institutions to contribute their data for the long-term development of the research community.

  Fears of unauthorized use, like training commercial AI models, hinder researchers from sharing their valuable datasets. We propose the Sparsity-Aware Local Masking (SALM) method, which selectively perturbs significant pixel regions rather than the entire image. Our experiments demonstrate that SALM effectively prevents unauthorized training of different models and outperforms previous SoTA data protection methods.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.

  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.
