Diagnosis of Pneumonia from Chest X-Ray Images Using Federated Learning
摘要
Pneumonia is a substantial risk for global health. The prompt and precise diagnosis is important and very crucial. This study centers on the diagnosis of pneumonia through the analysis of chest X-ray images using sophisticated deep learning models within a federated learning framework. We utilized three convolutional neural networks: VGG-16, ResNet-50, and InceptionV3 with a federated learning approach. The models underwent training and evaluation, resulting in accuracies of 90%, 87%, and 89% respectively. Implementing federated learning in this study is essential for improving data privacy and security. Conventional centralized machine learning methods typically involve gathering data in a single storage location, which can lead to worries about patient privacy and data security breaches. Federated learning allows for the training of models on multiple decentralized devices or servers that hold local data samples, without the need to exchange the data. This paradigm not only ensures the preservation of data privacy by storing the data on local devices, but it also complies with regulatory requirements and minimizes the likelihood of data exposure.
