Inclusive Federated Learning Through Compliance-Weighted Noise Allocation in Healthcare AI

arXiv:2505. 22108v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background: Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training of clinical AI models without centralizing patient data, but adoption is limited by privacy concerns, heterogeneous institutional compliance, and resource disparities; standard differential privacy (DP) applies uniform noise to all clients, penalizing well-compliant or under-resourced institutions.

Distributionally Robust Federated Learning with Multi-Source Data

The paper proposes a distributionally robust federated learning framework that handles both cross-client mixture uncertainty and within-client distributional ambiguity. It constructs a global ambiguity set as a union of local ambiguity sets, allowing client-specific ambiguity radii and a client-wise separable reformulation. The authors provide a high‑probability out‑of‑sample performance guarantee, develop a penalty‑based federated algorithm, prove its convergence under milder conditions, and validate its effectiveness through simulations.
