FedSCS-XGB -- Federated Server-centric surrogate XGBoost for continual health monitoring

  • 基于梯度提升树设计联邦服务器主导的分布式学习框架
  • 在真实穿戴设备数据上实现性能差距小于1%的精准识别
  • 适合远程医疗和持续健康监测场景的隐私保护型算法

可穿戴传感器结合本地数据处理可实现健康风险的早期发现、改善记录并支持个性化治疗。针对脊髓损伤患者常见的压疮与血压不稳问题,持续监测有助于早期干预。本文提出一种基于梯度提升决策树(XGBoost)的新型分布式机器学习协议,用于可穿戴传感器数据的人体活动识别(HAR)。该架构受Party-Adaptive XGBoost(PAX)启发,同时保留标准XGBoost的关键结构与优化特性,如基于直方图的分裂构建和树集成动态。理论上分析表明,在合适数据条件与超参数下,该分布式协议可收敛至等价于集中式XGBoost训练的解。在代表性的可穿戴传感器HAR数据集上进行实证评估,反映远程监测中的数据异构性与碎片化特征。与集中式XGBoost及IBM PAX对比显示,理论收敛性在实践中得以体现:所提方法性能差距低于1%,同时保持XGBoost在分布式可穿戴健康识别中的结构优势。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Wearable sensors with local data processing can detect health threats early, enhance documentation, and support personalized therapy. In the context of spinal cord injury (SCI), which involves risks such as pressure injuries and blood pressure instability, continuous monitoring can help mitigate these by enabling early deDtection and intervention. In this work, we present a novel distributed machine learning (DML) protocol for human activity recognition (HAR) from wearable sensor data based on gradient-boosted decision trees (XGBoost). The proposed architecture is inspired by Party-Adaptive XGBoost (PAX) while explicitly preserving key structural and optimization properties of standard XGBoost, including histogram-based split construction and tree-ensemble dynamics. First, we provide a theoretical analysis showing that, under appropriate data conditions and suitable hyperparameter selection, the proposed distributed protocol can converge to solutions equivalent to centralized XGBoost training. Second, the protocol is empirically evaluated on a representative wearable-sensor HAR dataset, reflecting the heterogeneity and data fragmentation typical of remote monitoring scenarios. Benchmarking against centralized XGBoost and IBM PAX demonstrates that the theoretical convergence properties are reflected in practice. The results indicate that the proposed approach can match centralized performance up to a gap under 1\% while retaining the structural advantages of XGBoost in distributed wearable-based HAR settings.
