Title: Role of federated learning in covid prediction
World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic in March 2020. The pandemic spread could be slowed with adequate testing. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches, a range of clinical symptom data can be used to detect COVID-19. While deep learning (DL) makes use of centralized data, federated learning (FL) makes use of decentralized data, which protects data privacy, which is critical in the healthcare industry. This session will focus on the role of FL in covid detection and will conclude with a discussion of some other potential future work in the healthcare field.
