FedPS is a federated preprocessing framework that uses aggregated statistics to address missing values, inconsistent formats, and heterogeneous feature scales in structured data. It employs data-sketching techniques to summarize local datasets efficiently, enabling federated algorithms for feature scaling, encoding, discretization, and missing-value imputation. The framework also extends preprocessing-related models, such as Bayesian Linear Regression, to both horizontal and vertical federated learning settings, offering communication‑efficient and consistent pipelines for practical deployments.

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.

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.

The paper evaluates federated learning with Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for fine‑tuning the BiomedCLIP vision‑language model on chest X‑ray classification across four international cohorts. Federated LoRA improves shared‑class AUC from 0.687 to 0.802, outperforming isolated single‑cohort training and approaching a centralized reference. The study shows that SVD‑based product‑space aggregation (FlexLoRA) is crucial for performance, while FedProx offers no advantage over FedAvg in this setting.
