On COVID-19 Prediction Using Asynchronous Federated Learning-Based Agile Radiograph Screening Booths
Abstract
To combat the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spread, the adoption of technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT) and deep learning is on the rise. However, the seamless integration of IoT devices and deep learning models for radiograph detection to identify the presence of glass opacities and other features in the lung is yet to be envisioned. Moreover, the privacy issue of the collected radiograph data and other health data of the patients has also arisen much concern. To address these challenges, in this paper, we envision a federated learning model for COVID-19 prediction from radiograph images acquired by an X-ray device within a mobile and deployable screening resource booth node (RBN). Our envisioned model permits the privacy-preservation of the acquired radiograph by performing localized learning. We further customize the proposed federated learning model by asynchronously updating the shallow and deep model parameters so that precious communication bandwidth can be spared. Based on a real dataset, the effectiveness of our envisioned approach is demonstrated and compared with baseline methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
