<![CDATA[Categorization of cardiac abnormalities received from several centers is not possible within the quickest time because of privacy and security restrictions. Today, individuals’ security problem is considered as one of the most important research fields in most research sciences. This study provides a novel approach for detection of cardiac abnormalities based on federated learning (FL). This approach addresses the challenge of accessing data from remote centers and presents the possibility of learning without the need for transferring data from the main center. We present a novel aggregation approach in the FL for addressing the challenge of imbalanced data using the averaging stochastic weights (SWA) optimizer and a multivariate Gaussian in order to make a better and more accurate detection possible. The advantage of the present proposed approach is robust and secure aggregation for unbalanced electrocardiogram (ECG) data from heterogeneous clients. We were able to achieve 87.98% accuracy in testing with the robust VGG19 architecture.]]>
