The value of federated learning during and post-COVID-19

AbstractFederated learning (FL) as a distributed machine learning (ML) technique has lately attracted increasing attention of healthcare stakeholders as FL is perceived as a promising decentralized approach to address data privacy and security concerns. The FL approach stores and maintains the privacy-sensitive data locally while allows multiple sites to train ML models collaboratively. We aim to describe the most recent real-world cases using the FL in both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 scenarios and also highlight current limitations and practical challenges of FL.
