Hierarchical Learning: A Hybrid of Federated Learning and Personalization Fine-Tuning by Li Shuyi, Zhang Bairong

“…Traditional FL methods, which allow multiple clients to collaboratively train a global model without sharing raw data, are hindered by issues such as non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data, communication overhead, and limited generalization across diverse client datasets. This study proposes a hierarchical model that mitigates these challenges by incorporating a global model, trained using the Federated Averaging (FedAvg) algorithm, and applying client-specific fine-tuning to improve local model performance. …”

Arrhythmia Classification Techniques Using Deep Neural Network by Ali Haider Khan, Muzammil Hussain, Muhammad Kamran Malik

“…The deep learning-based automated arrhythmia classification techniques are developed with high accuracy results but still not adopted by healthcare professionals as the generalized approach. The primary concerns that affect the success of the developed arrhythmia detection systems are (i) manual features selection, (ii) techniques used for features extraction, and (iii) algorithm used for classification and the most important is the use of imbalanced data for classification. …”
