Abstract

Early diagnosis of diseases has become the major focus of researchers today. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have provided a much-needed boost to this field to make early diagnosis possible. With the help of sufficient data and computation, DL algorithms can be developed to detect diseases with high precision. Even with this uplift, gathering high-quality and quantity data for medical studies is very difficult. Although implementing Federated Learning (FL) solves data availability issues, its high variance makes it incompatible with Medical Diagnosis. In this paper, we present an FL approach for diagnosing pneumonia in patients that is easy to use and provides state-of-the-art results. Before training, a combination of pre-processing steps is performed that significantly increase the performance of the FL architecture.
