2025.08.04 In-Silo Federated Learning vs. Centralized Learning for Segmenting Acute and Chronic Ischemic Brain Lesions
Intelligence-Based Medicine
Comparative analysis of Federated and Centralized Learning on brain MRI images. Showed Federated Learning is as effective as Centralized learning on real-life non-i.i.d. brain lesion datasets of ~10,000 patients over 9 institutions.
