Machine learning (ML) enables valuable insights from data, but traditional ML approaches often require centralizing data, raising privacy and security concerns, especially in sensitive sectors like healthcare. Federated Learning (FL) offers a solution by allowing multiple clients to train models locally without sharing raw data, thus preserving privacy while enabling robust model training.

摘要

Machine learning (ML) enables valuable insights from data, but traditional ML approaches often require centralizing data, raising privacy and security concerns, especially in sensitive sectors like healthcare. Federated Learning (FL) offers a solution by allowing multiple clients to train models locally without sharing raw data, thus preserving privacy while enabling robust model training. This paper investigates using FL for classifying breast ultrasound images, a crucial task in breast cancer diagnosis. We apply a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier within an FL framework, evaluated through methods like FedAvg on platforms such as Flower and TensorFlow. The results show that FL achieves competitive accuracy compared to centralized models while ensuring data privacy, making it a promising approach for healthcare applications.
