The paper introduces DP‑BR‑FedAvg, a federated learning framework that combines Gaussian‑mechanism differential privacy with a coordinate‑wise trimmed‑mean Byzantine‑robust aggregation rule. It is evaluated on a simulated cross‑institutional classification task involving fraud and clinical‑risk scoring, where it improves the F1‑score for a minority class from 0.030 (plain FedAvg) to 0.119 while bounding privacy loss. The study demonstrates that privacy and robustness mechanisms interact, and that system design for regulated, adversarial, cross‑institutional settings must account for this interaction.

Aegis is a client‑side defense for medical federated learning that protects against model inversion attacks by adding a masking gradient derived from locally synthesized data. The method exploits the fact that attacks fail when the effective batch size exceeds the model’s leakage capacity, turning this bottleneck into a privacy guarantee. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and MedMNIST datasets show that Aegis neutralizes state‑of‑the‑art attacks while preserving model accuracy and adding only modest overhead.

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.

arXiv:2509. 10517v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine learning can predict in-hospital mortality, but data privacy and the statistical heterogeneity of clinical data hamper its use.

The privacy requirements of medical data and its substantial variations across organs and modalities hinder the clinical implementation of medical AI. Federated learning (FL) is a feasible approach to overcome these challenges.
