The application effect of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of medical imaging is remarkable. Robust AI model training requires large datasets, but data collection faces communication, ethics, and privacy protection constraints. Fortunately, federated learning can solve the above problems by coordinating multiple clients to train the model without sharing the original data. In this study, we design a federated contrastive learning framework (FCL) for large-scale pathology images and the heterogeneity challenges. It enhances the model's generalization ability by maximizing the attention consistency between the local client and server models. To alleviate the privacy leakage problem when transferring parameters and verify the robustness of FCL, we use differential privacy to further protect the model by adding noise. We evaluate the effectiveness of FCL on the cancer diagnosis task and Gleason grading task on 19,635 prostate cancer WSIs from multiple clients. In the diagnosis task, the average AUC of 7 clients is 95% when the categories are relatively balanced, and our FCL achieves 97%. In the Gleason grading task, the average Kappa of 6 clients is 0.74, and the Kappa of FCL reaches 0.84. Furthermore, we also validate the robustness of the model on external datasets(one public dataset and two private datasets). In addition, to better explain the classification effect of the model, we show whether the model focuses on the lesion area by drawing a heatmap. Finally, FCL brings a robust, accurate, low-cost AI training model to biomedical research, effectively protecting medical data privacy.
This paper designs an Operator Learning framework to approximate the dynamic response of synchronous generators. One can use such a framework to (i) design a neural-based generator model that can interact with a numerical simulator of the rest of the power grid or (ii) shadow the generator's transient response. To this end, we design a data-driven Deep Operator Network~(DeepONet) that approximates the generators' infinite-dimensional solution operator. Then, we develop a DeepONet-based numerical scheme to simulate a given generator's dynamic response over a short/medium-term horizon. The proposed numerical scheme recursively employs the trained DeepONet to simulate the response for a given multi-dimensional input, which describes the interaction between the generator and the rest of the system. Furthermore, we develop a residual DeepONet numerical scheme that incorporates information from mathematical models of synchronous generators. We accompany this residual DeepONet scheme with an estimate for the prediction's cumulative error. We also design a data aggregation (DAgger) strategy that allows (i) employing supervised learning to train the proposed DeepONets and (ii) fine-tuning the DeepONet using aggregated training data that the DeepONet is likely to encounter during interactive simulations with other grid components. Finally, as a proof of concept, we demonstrate that the proposed DeepONet frameworks can effectively approximate the transient model of a synchronous generator.
This paper develops a Deep Graph Operator Network (DeepGraphONet) framework that learns to approximate the dynamics of a complex system (e.g. the power grid or traffic) with an underlying sub-graph structure. We build our DeepGraphONet by fusing the ability of (i) Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to exploit spatially correlated graph information and (ii) Deep Operator Networks~(DeepONet) to approximate the solution operator of dynamical systems. The resulting DeepGraphONet can then predict the dynamics within a given short/medium-term time horizon by observing a finite history of the graph state information. Furthermore, we design our DeepGraphONet to be resolution-independent. That is, we do not require the finite history to be collected at the exact/same resolution. In addition, to disseminate the results from a trained DeepGraphONet, we design a zero-shot learning strategy that enables using it on a different sub-graph. Finally, empirical results on the (i) transient stability prediction problem of power grids and (ii) traffic flow forecasting problem of a vehicular system illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepGraphONet.
This paper proposes a new data-driven method for the reliable prediction of power system post-fault trajectories. The proposed method is based on the fundamentally new concept of Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets). Compared to traditional neural networks that learn to approximate functions, DeepONets are designed to approximate nonlinear operators. Under this operator framework, we design a DeepONet to (1) take as inputs the fault-on trajectories collected, for example, via simulation or phasor measurement units, and (2) provide as outputs the predicted post-fault trajectories. In addition, we endow our method with a much-needed ability to balance efficiency with reliable/trustworthy predictions via uncertainty quantification. To this end, we propose and compare two methods that enable quantifying the predictive uncertainty. First, we propose a \textit{Bayesian DeepONet} (B-DeepONet) that uses stochastic gradient Hamiltonian Monte-Carlo to sample from the posterior distribution of the DeepONet parameters. Then, we propose a \textit{Probabilistic DeepONet} (Prob-DeepONet) that uses a probabilistic training strategy to equip DeepONets with a form of automated uncertainty quantification, at virtually no extra computational cost. Finally, we validate the predictive power and uncertainty quantification capability of the proposed B-DeepONet and Prob-DeepONet using the IEEE 16-machine 68-bus system.
We propose GLassoformer, a novel and efficient transformer architecture leveraging group Lasso regularization to reduce the number of queries of the standard self-attention mechanism. Due to the sparsified queries, GLassoformer is more computationally efficient than the standard transformers. On the power grid post-fault voltage prediction task, GLassoformer shows remarkably better prediction than many existing benchmark algorithms in terms of accuracy and stability.
