arXiv:2608. 02250v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) is a popular distributed learning framework where multiple clients perform local training and a server aggregates the locally updated models.

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.
Heterogeneous Differential Privacy (HDP) in Federated Learning (FL) allows clients to select individual privacy budgets ($\varepsilon_i$) according to institutional policies and data sensitivity. In practice, many HDP-FL systems employ $\varepsilon$-aware server aggregation to improve model utility by re-weighting client updates according to their declared privacy budgets.
