图联邦学习(GFL)可在保护隐私的前提下实现跨分布式子图的协同表征学习。然而,客户端间子图在语义和结构上存在显著异构性,成为关键挑战。现有方法通过强制客户端与服务器间模型参数或原型的刚性对齐来缓解异构,但隐含依赖于单一全局线性假设,压缩了客户端的个性化表示空间,难以保留多样化的局部图分布。为此,本文提出联邦图流形校准(FedGMC),从统一流形视角应对语义与结构异构。针对语义异构,服务器通过等距语义锚点构建几何最优语义流形,引导本地语义流形校准;针对结构异构,通过构建全局结构模板形成全局结构流形,指导本地结构流形校准。最终,服务器动态聚合本地流形以优化全局流形。在11个同质与异质图上的实验表明,FedGMC有效平衡全局共性与本地个性化,显著优于当前最优基线方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Graph Federated Learning (GFL) enables collaborative representation learning across distributed subgraphs while preserving privacy. However, heterogeneity remains a critical challenge, as subgraphs across clients typically differ significantly in both semantics and structures. Existing methods address heterogeneity by enforcing the rigid alignment of model parameters or prototypes between clients and the server. However, these alignments implicitly rely on a restrictive global linearity assumption that summarizes local data distributions using a single and globally consistent representation space. This severely compresses the personalized representation space of clients and fails to preserve diverse local graph distributions. To overcome these limitations, we propose Federated Graph Manifold Calibration (FedGMC), a novel paradigm that tackles semantic heterogeneity and structural heterogeneity from a unified manifold perspective. Instead of enforcing rigid alignment, FedGMC introduces a dual manifold calibration mechanism that preserves global commonalities while maximizing the personalized representation space of local clients. Specifically, for semantic heterogeneity, the server constructs a geometrically optimal semantic manifold via equidistant semantic anchors, so as to guide the calibration of local semantic manifolds. For structural heterogeneity, the server constructs a global structural manifold by building global structural templates, so as to guide the calibration of local structural manifolds. Finally, the server dynamically refines both global semantic manifolds and structural manifolds by aggregating local manifolds. Extensive experiments on eleven homophilic and heterophilic graphs demonstrate that FedGMC effectively balances global commonality and local personalization, thereby significantly outperforming state-of-the-art baseline methods.
