Federated Learning Enabling Big Data Analyses in Healthcare

About this Class

In this Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) sponsored seminar, Dr. Spyridon Bakas, professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, will present "Federated Learning Enabling Big Data Analyses in Healthcare". Dr. Bakas will discuss the results of the largest FL study to date that focuses on glioblastoma and leveraging the data of thousands of patients across six continents. Federated learning enables big data for rare cancer boundary detection.

FL addresses concerns about reproducibility and generalizability of data from unseen sources. Developments in FL can pave the way for addressing clinical questions in rare diseases.
