BiFedKD: New Framework for Federated ECG Monitoring

other · 2026-05-16

A new framework called BiFedKD (Bidirectional Federated Knowledge Distillation) has been proposed to improve ECG monitoring in IoMT networks. It addresses challenges of non-IID and long-tailed label distributions by using an aggregation-by-distillation pipeline with temperature scaling. The framework aims to reduce communication overhead while maintaining performance under data heterogeneity. Experiments were conducted on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset.
