提出FedC4，用图压缩降低联邦图学习通信开销

As a new distributed graph learning paradigm, Federated Graph Learning (FGL) facilitates collaborative model training across local systems while preserving data privacy. We review existing FGL approaches and categorize their optimization mechanisms into: (1) Server-Client (S-C), where clients upload local model parameters for server-side aggregation and global updates; (2) Client-Client (C-C), which allows direct exchange of information between clients and customizing their local training process. We reveal that C-C shows superior potential due to its refined communication structure. However, existing C-C methods broadcast redundant node representations, incurring high communication costs and privacy risks at the node level. To this end, we propose FedC4, which combines graph Condensation with C-C Collaboration optimization. Specifically, FedC4 employs graph condensation technique to refine the knowledge of each client's graph into a few synthetic embeddings instead of transmitting node-level knowledge. Moreover, FedC4 introduces three novel modules that allow the source client to send distinct node representations tailored to the target client's graph properties. Experiments on eight public real-world datasets show that FedC4 outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both task performance and communication cost.
