Abstract
Federated learning (FL) is an innovative approach to machine learning that emphasizes data privacy by allowing model training on decentralized data sources. This study focuses on the application of FL using medical data, specifically chest
X-ray images. We address the issue of traffic congestion between the server and clients by implementing three compression techniques: Pruning, Clustering, Quantization, and a hybrid technique that integrates these three methods which we name it (QPC). Our results demonstrate that clustering is the most effective compression technique, achieving superior upload and download speeds while preserving accuracy and significantly reducing traffic between the central server and clients. The average upload speed, download speed, and accuracy achieved were approximately 29.71 GB/s, 367.86 GB/s, and 97.53%, respectively. This research advances the field of FL by improving scalability and efficiency, offering valuable insights for future research in Federated Learning and healthcare applications.
