A committee of experts from top U.S. medical centers and research institutes is harnessing NVIDIA-powered federated learning to evaluate the impact of federated learning and AI-assisted annotation to train AI models for tumor segmentation. Federated learning is a technique for developing more accurate, generalizable AI models trained on data across diverse data sources without mitigating data security or privacy. It allows several organizations to collaborate on the development of an AI model without sensitive data ever leaving their servers. “Due to privacy and data management constraints, it’s growing more and more complicated to share data from site to site and…
