FedPref enables collaborative AI for radiology report extraction without data sharing

Researchers have developed FedPref, a novel federated learning approach designed to improve structured radiology report extraction. This method allows institutions with limited or unevenly distributed data to collaborate by training compact adapters for the Qwen3_8B model. FedPref enhances extraction accuracy, particularly for smaller sites, by using frozen public language models to propose extractions and local annotations to rank them, sharing only model updates rather than raw data. AI

IMPACT This method could enable more effective AI-driven analysis of medical reports across institutions with varying data availability.

    FedPref: Federated Preference Learning for Structured Radiology Report Extraction

    arXiv:2608.16971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Radiology reports describe findings and locations in free text, but downstream search and analysis require these relations in a fixed schema. Learning this extraction requires labels that are unevenly distributed across institutions…
