Federated learning in radiology reports poses significant privacy risks, study finds

A new study published on arXiv evaluates the privacy risks associated with federated learning (FL) in the context of radiology reports. Researchers found that sensitive information from these reports can be reconstructed from model updates, even with larger batch sizes and domain-specific tokenizers like GPT-2, RadBERT, and LLaMA-2. The study indicates that tokenizer design significantly impacts the severity of data leakage, suggesting that safeguards such as secure aggregation and differential privacy are crucial for meeting regulatory requirements like HIPAA and GDPR in radiology NLP.
