Privacy-sensitive and distributed characteristics of multi-center medical data bring severe obstacles to centralized modeling for accurate early prediction of sepsis. Federated learning (FL) has attracted growing attention as a promising framework for collaborative model development, as it allows multiple institutions to jointly train predictive models without directly sharing or centralizing raw data.

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed healthcare institutions without centralising sensitive patient data. However, real-world healthcare federations are often characterised not only by non-IID data, but also by heterogeneous clinical objectives and partially overlapping feature spaces.

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 for fraud and clinical‑risk scoring, showing that plain FedAvg fails when a quarter of twenty clients are Byzantine, while DP‑BR‑FedAvg recovers more signal and bounds privacy loss. The study demonstrates that privacy and robustness interact, and system design for regulated, adversarial, cross‑institutional settings must account for this interaction.

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 paper introduces a federated inference framework that enables multiple commercial large language model (LLM) APIs—such as LLaMA‑3.3‑70B, GPT‑4o‑mini, and Claude‑3‑Haiku—to collaborate on cognitive diagnosis tasks without accessing raw student data or proprietary model internals. Each entity’s predictions are perturbed with Laplace noise to provide epsilon‑local differential privacy, and a residual‑based aggregation scheme mitigates model heterogeneity. Experiments on three educational benchmarks demonstrate strong privacy guarantees with minimal accuracy loss, confirming the framework’s practical usability and cross‑domain generalizability.
