• Title: Comparing Federated Stochastic Gradient Descent and Federated Averaging for Predicting Hospital Length of Stay
• Authors: Mehmet Yigit Balik,
• Abstract summary: Predicting hospital length of stay (LOS) reliably is an essential need for efficient resource allocation at hospitals. Traditional predictive modeling tools frequently have difficulty acquiring sufficient and diverse data because healthcare institutions have privacy rules in place. This modeling approach facilitates collaborative model training by modeling decentralized data sources from different hospitals without extracting sensitive data outside of hospitals.

• Abstract: Predicting hospital length of stay (LOS) reliably is an essential need for efficient resource allocation at hospitals. Traditional predictive modeling tools frequently have difficulty acquiring sufficient and diverse data because healthcare institutions have privacy rules in place. In our study, we modeled this problem as an empirical graph where nodes are the hospitals. This modeling approach facilitates collaborative model training by modeling decentralized data sources from different hospitals without extracting sensitive data outside of hospitals. A local model is trained on a node (hospital) by aiming the generalized total variation minimization (GTVMin). Moreover, we implemented and compared two different federated learning optimization algorithms named federated stochastic gradient descent (FedSGD) and federated averaging (FedAVG). Our results show that federated learning enables accurate prediction of hospital LOS while addressing privacy concerns without extracting data outside healthcare institutions.

• Cluster Based Secure Multi-Party Computation in Federated Learning for Histopathology Images [0.0]
  Federated learning (FL) is a decentralized method enabling hospitals to collaboratively learn a model without sharing private patient data for training. In FL, participant hospitals periodically exchange training results rather than training samples with a central server. In our proposed method, the hospitals are divided into clusters. After local training, each hospital splits its model weights among other hospitals in the same cluster. Then, all hospitals sum up the received weights, sending the results to the central server. Finally, the central server aggregates the results, retrieving the average of models' weights and updating the model without having access to individual hospitals' weights.

  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.

  To train a high-quality deep learning model, the aggregation of a significant amount of patient information is required. Due to the need to protect the privacy of patient data, it is hard to assemble a central database from multiple institutions.
