Raman spectroscopy-based detectors are widely used but have many limitations. The Raman spectrum changes unpredictably due to various environmental factors, and it is hard for detectors to make appropriate judgments about new chemical substances without prior information. Thus, the existing detectors with inflexible techniques based on determined rules cannot deal with such problems flexibly and reactively. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based detection techniques can be good alternatives to the existing techniques for chemical agent detection. To build AI-based detection systems, sufficient amounts of data for training are required, but it is not easy to produce and handle fatal chemical agents, which causes difficulty in securing data in advance. To overcome the limitations, in this paper, we propose the distributed Raman spectrum data augmentation system that leverages federated learning (FL) with deep generative models, such as generative adversarial network (GAN) and autoencoder. Furthermore, the proposed system utilizes various additional techniques in combination to generate a large number of Raman spectrum data with reality along with diversity. We implemented the proposed system and conducted diverse experiments to evaluate the system. The evaluation results validated that the proposed system can train the models more quickly through cooperation among decentralized troops without exchanging raw data and generate realistic Raman spectrum data well. Moreover, we confirmed that the classification model on the proposed system performed learning much faster and outperformed the existing systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22249900","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]],"date-time":"2022-12-16T03:55:39Z","timestamp":1671162939000},"page":"9900","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Distributed Raman Spectrum Data Augmentation System Using Federated Learning with Deep Generative Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5788-6178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaeran","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computer Engineering, Hansung University, Seoul 02876, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Smart CBRNe Sensor Laboratory (SCSL), Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0856-6415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Woonghee","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Smart CBRNe Sensor Laboratory (SCSL), Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence, Hansung University, Seoul 02876, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1177\/0003702819888949","article-title":"Single-step preprocessing of raman spectra using convolutional neural networks","volume":"74","author":"Wahl","year":"2020","journal-title":"Appl.
