Context

I want to start using federated learning for my research on privacy-preserving healthcare analytics. The datasets involve patient records from three hospitals and we cannot share data across sites.

What I am looking for:

  • Python frameworks that are actively maintained and used in research
  • Any frameworks with good support for heterogeneous data distributions (non-IID)
  • Something that has a reasonably gentle learning curve for a researcher (not a systems engineer)

I have looked at PySyft and Flower. Any experience with either, or other alternatives I should consider?

Thank you for this detailed answer! A quick follow-up: when you mention cosine learning rate with warm-up, are you warming up the LoRA parameters specifically or the entire model including the frozen backbone?

Could you clarify what you mean by results-blind review? I have heard of it but never understood how it works in practice. Wouldn't reviewers need to see results to evaluate whether the methodology is sound?

The Fulbright SoP is very different from a typical PhD SoP. It needs to focus on cultural exchange and diplomacy, not just research.
