OmniMed-FL: A Robust Multimodal Federated Learning Framework for Clinical Diagnosis

OmniMed-FL benchmarks multimodal federated learning for chest radiograph diagnosis across 3-20 clients, with FedProx leading under severe non-IID skew.

OmniMed-FL studies multimodal federated learning combining chest radiographs and clinical notes for five-class condition classification under HIPAA/GDDR-compliant decentralized training. It benchmarks eight fusion strategies, imputation rules, and federated baselines under Dirichlet non-IID partitioning across 3-20 hospital clients. With 5 clients and severe skew (alpha=0.1), FedProx scored 0.737 macro-F1 versus 0.662 for FedAvg and 0.297 for local-only training. Multimodal fusion beat unimodal inputs (0.956 vs 0.934 text, 0.664 images) on the synthetic corpus.

Privacy-enhanced federated learning via asynchronous aggregation and local differential perturbation

Federated learning framework combining dynamic differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, and local DP retains 82.6% accuracy at epsilon 0.1 while cutting communication 21.3%.

The paper proposes a privacy-enhanced federated learning framework integrating Dynamic Differential Privacy, lightweight Homomorphic Encryption, and Local Differential Privacy during training. An asynchronous aggregation strategy with version control supports distributed training in asynchronous environments. On CIFAR-10 and Purchase-100, the method maintains up to 82.6% classification accuracy under stringent privacy constraints (epsilon = 0.1) and reduces communication overhead by 21.3% versus FedAvg.
