Speech Title: Extracting similar electronic medical records: A novel federated learning-based case-based reasoning framework
Abstract:
We propose a novel federated learning (FL)-based case-based reasoning (CBR) framework for extracting similar electronic medical records (EMRs), named FL-CBR, which enables doctors to use clinical data from multiple isolated hospitals to support their decision making process while protecting patients' privacy. In the proposed framework, we present three important works: (a) We propose a method for EMR data pre-processing and feature similarity calculation; (b) We develop a global artificial neural network training algrithm using distributed EMR data under the FL framework (FL-ANN) to measure case similarity; (c) We develop a distributed sorting algorithm to retrieve similar cases from multiple hospitals. Also, we conduct an experimental study using the Medical Information Mark for Intensive Care dataset (MIMIC-III) to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework. The experimental study demonstrates that the proposed FL-CBR decision support framework contributes to train a high-quality global case similarity measure model using clinical data from multiple hospitals and helps doctors to make complex clinical decisions with similar historical cases in a privacy-preserving manner.
