提出动态连续分割方法,同时解决病理图像中的客户端漂移与遗忘问题。

Federated-Continual Dynamic Segmentation of Histopathology guided by Barlow Continuity

  • 基于公开参考集评估客户端更新,引导训练实现时空不变性。
  • 在BCSS和Semicol数据集上,分割精度提升15.8%至71.6%(客户端漂移)。
  • 适合医疗图像持续学习场景,尤其关注隐私保护与数据动态变化的团队。

联邦学习与持续学习已被证实可在隐私敏感的病理图像中实现对持续变化数据的学习。然而,数据分布可能在空间上(不同机构间)和时间上(随患者群体变化)发生动态偏移,导致两个核心问题:客户端漂移(客户端训练数据偏移,使中心模型性能下降)与灾难性遗忘(时间推移导致旧数据表现退化)。尽管两者均由数据偏移引起,现有研究仅分别应对。本文提出一种联合缓解机制——动态巴洛夫连续性(Dynamic Barlow Continuity),通过在公共参考数据集上评估客户端更新,并据此指导训练,构建具备时空不变性的模型。我们在病理图像数据集BCSS和Semicol上验证该方法,结果表明其能显著提升性能:在客户端漂移场景下,Dice分数从15.8%提升至71.6%;在灾难性遗忘场景下,从42.5%提升至62.8%。该方法实现了真正的动态学习,建立时空不变表征。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated- and Continual Learning have been established as approaches to enable privacy-aware learning on continuously changing data, as required for deploying AI systems in histopathology images. However, data shifts can occur in a dynamic world, spatially between institutions and temporally, due to changing data over time. This leads to two issues: Client Drift, where the central model degrades from aggregating data from clients trained on shifted data, and Catastrophic Forgetting, from temporal shifts such as changes in patient populations. Both tend to degrade the model's performance of previously seen data or spatially distributed training. Despite both problems arising from the same underlying problem of data shifts, existing research addresses them only individually. In this work, we introduce a method that can jointly alleviate Client Drift and Catastrophic Forgetting by using our proposed Dynamic Barlow Continuity that evaluates client updates on a public reference dataset and uses this to guide the training process to a spatially and temporally shift-invariant model. We evaluate our approach on the histopathology datasets BCSS and Semicol and prove our method to be highly effective by jointly improving the dice score as much as from 15.8% to 71.6% in Client Drift and from 42.5% to 62.8% in Catastrophic Forgetting. This enables Dynamic Learning by establishing spatio-temporal shift-invariance.
