在边缘设备上实现高隐私保护的实时心电异常检测。

Privacy-Preserving Federated Autoencoder for ECG Anomaly Detection on Edge Devices

  • 联邦学习+差分隐私+量化压缩,兼顾隐私与效率
  • 隐私预算ε=4时检测效果最优,模型体积减半延迟降44%
  • 首次实现全链路隐私保护的心电异常检测系统

持续心电图(ECG)监测可在心血管事件发生前发现心律异常。但可部署系统需同时满足三大要求:符合法律级隐私(GDPR、HIPAA)、在资源受限的边缘硬件上实现实时推理、在跨医院非独立同分布数据下保持检测质量。本文设计并评估了一个端到端联邦系统,针对PTB-XL数据集上的12导联无监督心电异常检测任务,结合三种自编码器(VanillaAE、ConvAE、VAE),基于Flower框架的联邦平均(FedAvg)在十家模拟医院间协作,客户端采用差分私有随机梯度下降(DP-SGD)并配备Rényi-DP会计机制,以及8位整数(INT8)后训练量化,并在树莓派4上进行基准测试。主要贡献包括:对各机制组合效应的实证分析、面向实践的差分隐私建议,以及临床敏感场景下的技术与安全洞见。联邦学习在所有架构上达到或超过集中式基线性能(如ConvAE的联邦AUROC为0.782),ε扫描识别出ε=4为推荐临床运行点。INT8量化使模型体积减半,树莓派4延迟最高降低44%,且AUROC损失小于0.12%。关键发现是差分隐私与量化惩罚在实验中相互独立,因此无需为紧凑边缘部署牺牲强隐私保障。据我们所知,这是首个融合联邦学习、形式化(ε,δ)-DP、基于重构的无监督检测和量化后的AArch64部署的系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Continuous electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring could surface rhythm abnormalities before they escalate into cardiovascular events. However, a deployable system must satisfy three requirements simultaneously: legal-grade privacy (GDPR, HIPAA), real-time inference on constrained edge hardware, and detection quality under non-IID cross-hospital data. We design and evaluate an end-to-end federated system addressing all three for unsupervised 12-lead ECG anomaly detection on PTB-XL dataset, combining three autoencoder families (VanillaAE, ConvAE, VAE), Flower-based federated averaging (FedAvg) across ten simulated hospitals, client-side differentially private SGD (DP-SGD) with a Rényi-DP accountant, and 8-bit integer (INT8) post-training quantization with Raspberry Pi 4 benchmarking. Our main contributions are: an empirical characterization of how these mechanisms compose, practical DP-specific recommendations, and technical and security insights for a clinically sensitive setting. Federated learning matches or exceeds the centralized baseline across all architectures (ConvAE federated area under the ROC curve, AUROC, $0.782$), and an $\varepsilon$ sweep identifies $\varepsilon=4$ as the recommended clinical operating point. INT8 quantization roughly halves model size and cuts Pi 4 latency by up to $44%$ with $<0.12%$ AUROC loss. Crucially, DP and quantization penalties are empirically independent, so practitioners need not trade a strong privacy guarantee for a compact edge footprint. To our knowledge, this is the first system combining federated learning, formal $(\varepsilon,δ)$-DP, unsupervised reconstruction-based detection, and quantized AArch64 deployment.
