Abstract

Federated Learning (FL) provides an approach for performing the collaborative training of AI models without compromising data privacy. However, traditional implementations of FL require complex deployment strategies, making it challenging to perform training across multiple data centers. To address this issue, this article presents a platform designated as Federated Learning Agent (FLAg) which allows users to delegate their federated learning tasks to an automated process. FLAg features digital pathology databases as well as multiple pretrained models. The security of FLAg is ensured through its deployment on an HPC system and bastion host. While FLAg itself only offers FL training services, users may perform data annotation and inference through its integration with a proprietary ALOVAS AI pathology platform for a complete end-to-end process which includes annotation, FL training, and inference.
