QFedPolyp: A Communication- and Inference-Efficient Federated Learning Framework for Polyp Segmentation
Short summary
QFedPolyp is a federated learning framework for collaborative polyp segmentation that combines quantization-aware training with low-precision model communication, enabling hospitals to train locally on private data while transmitting only quantized parameters. On Kvasir-SEG and CVC-ClinicVideoDB, full-precision federated training achieves Dice scores of 0.910 and 0.930 respectively, while 8-bit communication reduces transmission cost ~4x with competitive accuracy. Quantized models also achieve up to 1.5x faster inference, making them suitable for real-time clinical deployment.
