FedMetaMed: Federated Meta-Learning for Personalized Medication in Distributed Healthcare Systems
- 用元学习融合联邦学习,实现跨机构医疗数据的个性化建模。
- 新方法在真实医学影像数据上超越现有技术,泛化能力更强。
- 适合关注医疗隐私保护与个性化治疗的研究者与开发者。
个性化用药旨在根据患者个体特征定制治疗方案。然而,各医疗机构间患者数据的异质性给精准有效的个性化治疗带来挑战,伦理问题也阻碍了大规模数据的集中。联邦学习(FL)通过交换客户端模型而非原始数据,提供了一种保护隐私的分布式协作训练方案。但现有方法在服务器聚合时易出现性能退化,影响实际医疗场景中的效果。为此,本文提出联邦元学习个性化用药框架 FedMetaMed,结合联邦学习与元学习,以适应多源患者数据。在服务器端引入累积傅里叶聚合(CFA),按低到高频率逐步融合客户端模型,提升全局知识聚合的稳定性和有效性;在客户端采用三步协同迁移优化(CTO)策略——检索、互馈、精炼,实现无缝全局知识迁移。在真实世界医学影像数据集上的实验表明,FedMetaMed优于当前主流联邦学习方法,在分布外样本上仍保持优异泛化性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Personalized medication aims to tailor healthcare to individual patient characteristics. However, the heterogeneity of patient data across healthcare systems presents significant challenges to achieving accurate and effective personalized treatments. Ethical concerns further complicate the aggregation of large volumes of data from diverse institutions. Federated Learning (FL) offers a promising decentralized solution by enabling collaborative model training through the exchange of client models rather than raw data, thus preserving privacy. However, existing FL methods often suffer from retrogression during server aggregation, leading to a decline in model performance in real-world medical FL settings. To address data variability in distributed healthcare systems, we introduce Federated Meta-Learning for Personalized Medication (FedMetaMed), which combines federated learning and meta-learning to create models that adapt to diverse patient data across healthcare systems. The FedMetaMed framework aims to produce superior personalized models for individual clients by addressing these limitations. Specifically, we introduce Cumulative Fourier Aggregation (CFA) at the server to improve stability and effectiveness in global knowledge aggregation. CFA achieves this by gradually integrating client models from low to high frequencies. At the client level, we implement a Collaborative Transfer Optimization (CTO) strategy with a three-step process - Retrieve, Reciprocate, and Refine - to enhance the personalized local model through seamless global knowledge transfer. Experiments on real-world medical imaging datasets demonstrate that FedMetaMed outperforms state-of-the-art FL methods, showing superior generalization even on out-of-distribution cohorts.
