Our paper "Federated learning for COVID-19 screening from Chest X-ray images" is accepted in Applied Soft Computing journal, Mars 2021. Impact Factor=8.263, Q1

In this work, we present a collaborative federated learning framework allowing multiple medical institutions screening COVID-19 from Chest X-ray images using deep learning without sharing patient data. We investigate several key properties and specificities of federated learning setting including the not independent and identically distributed (non-IID) and unbalanced data distributions that naturally arise.
