The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated our daily lives, leaving horrific repercussions in its aftermath. Due to its rapid spread, it was quite difficult for medical personnel to diagnose it in such a big quantity. Patients who test positive for Covid-19 are diagnosed via a nasal PCR test. In comparison, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) findings take a few hours to a few days. The PCR test is expensive, although the government may bear expenses in certain places. Furthermore, subsets of the population resist invasive testing like swabs. Therefore, chest X-rays or Computerized Vomography (CT) scans are preferred in most cases, and more importantly, they are non-invasive, inexpensive, and provide a faster response time. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), in combination with state-of-the-art methods, have allowed for the diagnosis of COVID-19 using chest x-rays. This article proposes a method for classifying COVID-19 as positive or negative on a decentralized dataset that is based on the Federated learning scheme. In order to build a progressive global COVID-19 classification model, two edge devices are employed to train the model on their respective localized dataset, and a 3layered custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is used in the process of training the model, which can be deployed from the server. These two edge devices then communicate their learned parameter and weight to the server, where it aggregates and updates the global model. The proposed model is trained using an image dataset that can be found on Kaggle. There are more than 13,000 X-ray images in Kaggle Database collection, from that collection 9000 images of Normal and COVID-19 positive images are used. Each edge node possesses a different number of images; edge node 1 has 3200 images, while edge node 2 has 5800. There is no association between the datasets of the various nodes that are included in the network. By doing it in this manner, each of the nodes will have access to a separate image collection that
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
