Federated learning: Applications, challenges and future directions

Federated learning (FL) refers to a system in which a central aggregator coordinates the efforts of several clients to solve the issues of machine learning. This setting allows the training data to be dispersed in order to protect the privacy of each device. This paper provides an overview of federated learning systems, with a focus on healthcare. FL is reviewed in terms of its frameworks, architectures and applications. It is shown here that FL solves the preceding issues with a shared global deep learning (DL) model via a central aggregator server. Inspired by the rapid growth of FL research, this paper examines recent developments and provides a comprehensive list of unresolved issues. Several privacy methods including secure multiparty computation, homomorphic…
