The American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute (DSI) has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) federated learning program on its AI-LAB platform.
Available for free, the vendor-neutral toolset enables users to test out, develop, and train AI algorithms using their institution's local patient data, according to the ACR DSI. With the federated learning approach, registered sites can collaborate with multiple other institutions to develop algorithms while keeping their data on their own servers.
In addition to being able to access the community-created models, participants can also view anonymized performance benchmarks to help them understand the performance of the algorithm produced by the community compared with a model that's fine-tuned to the site's own data, the ACR DSI said.
