Batch effects can impair federated learning in multi-center omics studies

arXiv:2412. 05894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative analysis of biomedical data without exchanging sensitive patient-level information, but its performance in multi-center studies may be compromised by batch effects which can obscure biological signals.

Federated Learning for Multi-Center Sepsis Early Prediction with Privacy-Preserving

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.

Fed-ReMasker: Federated Tabular Imputation under Feature-Level Missingness

Fed-ReMasker is a federated learning approach that adapts the ReMasker masked autoencoder for tabular data imputation, specifically addressing feature-level missingness where entire features are absent at some centers. The method enables centers to impute unobserved features by leveraging knowledge from collaborating institutions. In benchmark tests on synthetic and real-world datasets, Fed-ReMasker achieves the lowest imputation error in the majority of scenarios and remains robust to client heterogeneity, closely matching the performance of a centralized model.

Multi-center Medical Data Mining with FL-Net - A One-stop Shop for Federated Learning

FL-Net is a federated learning framework designed for medical research that addresses five key requirements identified in the literature. It offers modular data harmonization, discovery, disclosure control, versioned tools, and containerized workflow execution, enabling reuse of harmonized data and workflows across studies. The framework was evaluated on MIMIC and US-130 datasets, supporting up to 50 concurrent clients and demonstrating reproducible, audited federated workflows.
