Adaptive Bayesian Partner Selection (ABPS) is a peer‑to‑peer federated learning framework designed for heterogeneous clinical centers, where each center maintains a Beta‑Bernoulli posterior over prospective peers’ Shapley marginal utility and selects partners using an Upper Confidence Bound criterion. The lightweight propose‑reject mechanism allows centers to collaborate only when mutually beneficial, with the option to abstain from communication entirely. In experiments on 230 non‑IID ICU centers predicting in‑hospital mortality, the ABPS‑X variant achieves comparable accuracy to the strongest baseline (FedDyn) while reducing communication cost by 90% and enabling intentional isolation for many centers.

arXiv:2606. 23871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Survival analysis is central to clinical decision-making, yet reliable time-to-event models require large, diverse cohorts that are rarely available at a single institution, while privacy regulations restrict the centralization of patient 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 evaluates the cost‑effectiveness of consensus‑based learning (CBL) versus federated learning (FL) across seven medical datasets, three tasks, and eight modalities involving 3 to 23 clients. CBL achieves accuracy comparable to FL while dramatically cutting training time (15‑fold) and communication cost (60‑fold). The study suggests that CBL offers a more sustainable and democratized approach to deploying collaborative AI in real‑world healthcare settings.
arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.

arXiv:2505. 02257v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In regions lacking medically certified causes of death, verbal autopsy (VA) is a widely used tool to ascertain the cause of death through interviews with caregivers.
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.
