Abstract

In this paper, we propose a secure system for performing deep learning with distributed trainers connected to a central parameter server. Our system has the following two distinct features: (1) the distributed trainers can detect malicious activities in the server; (2) the distributed trainers can perform both vertical and horizontal neural network training. In the experiments, we apply our system to medical data including magnetic resonance and X-ray images and obtain approximate or even better area-under-the-curve scores when compared to the existing scores.
