Abstract
IoT devices are sorely underutilized in the medical field, especially within
machine learning for medicine, yet they offer unrivaled benefits. IoT devices
are low-cost, energy-efficient, small and intelligent devices. In this paper,
we propose a distributed federated learning framework for IoT devices, more
specifically for IoMT (Internet of Medical Things), using blockchain to allow
for a decentralized scheme improving privacy and efficiency over a centralized
system; this allows us to move from the cloud-based architectures, that are
prevalent, to the edge. The system is designed for three paradigms: 1) Training
neural networks on IoT devices to allow for collaborative training of a shared
model whilst decoupling the learning from the dataset to ensure privacy.
Training is performed in an online manner simultaneously amongst all
participants, allowing for the training of actual data that may not have been
present in a dataset collected in the traditional way and dynamically adapt the
system whilst it is being trained. 2) Training of an IoMT system in a fully
private manner such as to mitigate the issue with confidentiality of medical
data and to build robust, and potentially bespoke, models where not much, if
any, data exists. 3) Distribution of the actual network training, something
federated learning itself does not do, to allow hospitals, for example, to
utilize their spare computing resources to train network models.

Modern mobile devices have access to a wealth of data suitable for learning
models, which in turn can greatly improve the user experience on the device.
For example, language models can improve speech recognition and text entry, and
image models can automatically select good photos. However, this rich data is
often privacy sensitive, large in quantity, or both, which may preclude logging
to the data center and training there using conventional approaches. We
advocate an alternative that leaves the training data distributed on the mobile
devices, and learns a shared model by aggregating locally-computed updates. We
term this decentralized approach Federated Learning.
We present a practical method for the federated learning of deep networks
based on iterative model averaging, and conduct an extensive empirical
evaluation, considering five different model architectures and four datasets.
These experiments demonstrate the approach is robust to the unbalanced and
non-IID data distributions that are a defining characteristic of this setting.
Communication costs are the principal constraint, and we show a reduction in
required communication rounds by 10-100x as compared to synchronized stochastic
gradient descent.
