Abstract

In recent years, decentralized machine learning has emerged as a significant advancement in biomedical applications, offering robust solutions for data privacy, security, and collaboration across diverse healthcare environments. In this review, we examine various decentralized learning methodologies, including federated learning, split learning, swarm learning, gossip learning, edge learning, and some of their applications in the biomedical field. We delve into the underlying principles, network topologies, and communication strategies of each approach, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Ultimately, the selection of a suitable method should be based on specific needs, infrastructures, and computational capabilities.
