1st Workshop on Federated Learning in Medical Imaging and Vision

Held in conjunction with the “22nd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP)” – September 11-15, 2023, Udine (Italy) 

Web site: https://fedmedw.github.io/

ICIAP 2023 is the 22nd edition of a biennial series of conferences by CVPL, the Italian Member Society of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR). The conference focuses on classic and recent trends in computer vision, pattern recognition, and image processing and covers theoretical and applicative aspects. The event is hosted by the University of Udine, located in the downtown center of Udine. Udine is located in Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in the North East of Italy. Udine is about 140 km from Venice and 80 km from Trieste.

The 1st Workshop on Federated Learning (FL) in Medical Imaging and Vision aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with a common interest in FL for visual tasks, focusing on medical imaging, to address this research area's open questions and challenges.

Topics

The workshop aims to attract novel and original contributions exploring federated and collaborative learning with its challenges and peculiarities. Expected submissions should cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Novel approaches of Federated, Distributed, and Collaborative Learning in medical imaging applications
• Topologies: Server-centric, peer-to-peer, cyclic, swarm learning, etc.
• Decentralized Learning
• Dealing with heterogeneous and unbalanced (non-IID) data distributions
• Security and privacy of FL systems
• Personalized FL models
• New Datasets for FL
• Optimization methods for distributed and collaborative learning
• Adversarial, inversion, back-dooring, and other forms of attacks on distributed and federated learning
• Model sharing techniques
• Novel applications of FL techniques: image classification, segmentation, reconstruction, regression; multi-task learning, model agnostic learning, meta-learning, unsupervised
• Applications of federated, distributed, and collaborative learning techniques in the medical field.
• Explainability and interpretability in FL
• Federated continual learning
• Asynchronous FL
