Privacy-preserving federated learning with optimized ensemble weighting and knowledge distillation for COVID-19 detection from non-IID medical imaging data
This study introduces a novel federated learning framework, Independent Knowledge Distillation with post-Ensemble Federated Learning (IKDEFL), integrated with Differential Privacy (DP), for COVID-19 detection from non-IID medical imaging data. It significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving 82.79% accuracy and an F1-score of 82.78% on non-IID data. The Tree Adaptive DP mechanism provides the best trade-off between privacy and prediction quality, reaching 76.62% accuracy under strict privacy constraints (ε = 3.90, δ = 10-3). These findings highlight the potential of adaptive DP techniques in developing privacy-preserving AI systems for clinical diagnostics in federated healthcare.

Enhanced Model Robustness & Accuracy
Case Study: Data-Limited Hospitals
Challenge: Smaller hospitals often lack sufficient data to train robust AI models, leading to poor performance and hindering collaborative efforts in federated learning environments.
IKDEFL Solution: The knowledge distillation component of IKDEFL demonstrated the largest gains for smaller hospitals. For instance, Hospital H1 (medium-sized dataset) saw an +8.58% improvement in accuracy, and H3 (smallest dataset) gained +7.85%, significantly more than the +1.67% for H2 (largest dataset).
Outcome: IKDEFL enables data-limited institutions to leverage knowledge from larger, more complex teacher models and participate effectively in federated learning, improving diagnostic capabilities where data is scarce without compromising patient privacy.
