A federated learning (FL) platform, called CAFEIN*, based on artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms, was developed at CERN in order to ensure immense precision in the operation of the complex accelerator chain.
The key advantages of FL are:
- Privacy protection: Raw data never leaves the device, which protects user privacy and sensitive information.
- Efficiency: Federated learning can be more efficient than traditional centralised training, especially for large datasets or when dealing with data stored on edge devices.
- Decentralisation: It's well-suited to scenarios where data is distributed across many devices or locations, such as IoT devices, healthcare institutions and more.
- Adaptation: Federated learning can be used to adapt models to individual user preferences or local conditions while maintaining a global model’s performance.
These special features make it useful in applications where data privacy is a top priority, such as in mobile devices, healthcare and more.
You are warmly invited to join this online webinar to find out more about CAFEIN and its applications in various domains, with a particular emphasis on healthcare through a new EU project (TRUSTroke)**. The speakers include:
- Stefano Savazzi (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), who will talk about FL theories and applications;
- Michele Carminati and Alessandro Redondi (Politecnico di Milano), who will cover the federated network, its security and its privacy;
- Luigi Serio and Diogo Reis Santos (CERN), who will explain and demonstrate the CAFEIN FL operating platform.
