解决图联邦学习中的异构问题,提升跨客户端知识共享效果

Heterogeneity-Aware Knowledge Sharing for Graph Federated Learning

  • 通过语义与结构对齐,分别处理节点特征和图结构的异构性
  • 在6个同质和5个异质数据集上,性能超越11种先进方法
  • 适合需要隐私保护的分布式图学习场景,如医疗或金融网络

图联邦学习(GFL)可在保护图数据隐私的同时实现分布式图表示学习。然而,不同客户端间节点特征和拓扑结构的差异导致异构性问题。为此,我们提出一种基于语义与结构对齐的新型图联邦学习方法FedSSA,实现节点特征与图结构知识的共享。针对节点特征异构,设计变分模型推断类别级节点分布,根据分布聚类客户端并构建簇级代表性分布,最小化本地与簇级分布间的差异以促进语义知识共享。针对结构异构,采用谱图神经网络(Spectral GNNs),提出谱能量度量刻画结构信息,基于谱能量聚类并构建簇级谱图神经网络,对齐本地与簇级谱图神经网络的谱特性以实现结构知识共享。在六组同质及五组异质图数据集上,于非重叠与重叠划分设置下,实验表明FedSSA始终优于11种先进方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph Federated Learning (GFL) enables distributed graph representation learning while protecting the privacy of graph data. However, GFL suffers from heterogeneity arising from diverse node features and structural topologies across multiple clients. To address both types of heterogeneity, we propose a novel graph Federated learning method via Semantic and Structural Alignment (FedSSA), which shares the knowledge of both node features and structural topologies. For node feature heterogeneity, we propose a novel variational model to infer class-wise node distributions, so that we can cluster clients based on inferred distributions and construct cluster-level representative distributions. We then minimize the divergence between local and cluster-level distributions to facilitate semantic knowledge sharing. For structural heterogeneity, we employ spectral Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and propose a spectral energy measure to characterize structural information, so that we can cluster clients based on spectral energy and build cluster-level spectral GNNs. We then align the spectral characteristics of local spectral GNNs with those of cluster-level spectral GNNs to enable structural knowledge sharing. Experiments on six homophilic and five heterophilic graph datasets under both non-overlapping and overlapping partitioning settings demonstrate that FedSSA consistently outperforms eleven state-of-the-art methods.
