This goal can be achieved by leveraging the transformative potential of generative AI to promote a distributed learning strategy that is both privacy-preserving and data-driven.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Initial challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Improving the state of the art in privacy-preserving generative AI and FL. After gaining an overview of the most effective methods for privacy-preserving data synthesis, the project aims to integrate generative AI into the FLaaS prototype.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The integration of generative AI results in an advanced FLaaS prototype: this will give the prototype improved and more effective capabilities for privacy-preserving distributed learning.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some expected outcomes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contributing to the broader scientific community&#8217;s understanding of FLaaS&#8217;s potential applications and benefits in healthcare.<\/li>\n<li>Advancing the vision of federated learning in clinical settings.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting collaborative progress in privacy-preserving machine learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For industry, the improved FLaaS prototype is poised to position itself as a pioneering force in the federated learning market. The goal is to engage clinical centers in federated learning without directly sharing sensitive patient data, thereby fostering the creation of more robust and accurate predictive models.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IFAB&#8217;s role<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>IFAB took part in the project in an operational capacity, contributing to the management and coordination of activities across the different development phases. This involvement covered both organizational aspects and liaison among the parties involved, ensuring consistency between the activities carried out and the project&#8217;s objectives. Through this contribution, IFAB helped ensure the project&#8217;s proper execution and the delivery of the expected results, making its management expertise available in support of the entire process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Partners<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifabfoundation.org\/it\/\">IFAB<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unict.it\/\">University of Catania<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unito.it\/\">University of Turin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Spokes involved<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercomputing-icsc.it\/en\/spoke-1-future-hpc-big-data-en\/\">Spoke 1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact: <a href=\"mailto:projects@ifabfoundation.org\">projects@ifabfoundation.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":32565,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categoria-project":[253],"class_list":["post-32095","project","type-project","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-project-cross-cutting-technologies"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>GenF: Federated Learning as a Service (FLaaS) with Generative AI - IFAB International Foundation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ifabfoundation.org\/en\/project\/genf-federated-learning-as-a-service-flaas-with-generative-ai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"GenF: Federated Learning as a Service (FLaaS) with Generative AI - IFAB International Foundation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing (ICSC), a project funded by the European Union \u2013 NextGenerationEU \u2013 and by Italy&#8217;s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) \u2013 Mission 4, Component 2.
