PromptGate Client Adaptive Vision Language Gating for Open Set Federated Active Learning

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.07163v1 Announce Type: new Deploying medical AI across resource-constrained institutions demands data-efficient learning pipelines that respect patient privacy. Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative medical AI without centralising data, yet real-world clinical pools are inherently open-set, containing out-of-distribution (OOD) noise such as imaging artifacts and wrong modalities. Standard Active Learning (AL) query strategies mistake this noise for informative samples, wasting scarce annotation budgets.
