FedPref: Federated Preference Learning for Structured Radiology Report Extraction
Excerpt
arXiv:2608.16971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Radiology reports describe findings and locations in free text, but downstream search and analysis require these relations in a fixed schema. Learning this extraction requires labels that are unevenly distributed across institutions: smaller hospitals have less local evidence, and pooling data may be infeasible. We introduce FedPref: frozen public language models propose alternative JSON extractions, local annotations rank them, and sites collabora
