解决联邦图学习中因新类别加入导致旧知识丢失的问题
FedOGL: Combating Catastrophic Forgetting in Federated Open-World Multimodal Graph Learning

- 客户端通过记忆回放和结构投影保护历史知识
- 相比基线减少42.67%的遗忘性能下降
- 适合需要持续学习新类别的分布式多模态图场景
联邦图学习允许在不共享原始图数据的情况下协同训练。随着风险演化,客户端需从私有的多模态图流中学习新类别,同时保留历史类别并拒绝已知类别外的样本。核心挑战是灾难性遗忘,其在联邦多模态图中不仅表现为分类器失效:旧知识可能因模态-语义覆盖、拓扑诱导的结构退化以及联邦记忆碎片化而被消除。为此,我们提出FedOGL,一种语义-结构记忆保持框架。客户端通过回放和任务起点蒸馏保留历史决策行为,通过投影到全局共享结构基底保护图传播记忆;服务端维护并传递紧凑的类别原型,实现跨客户端知识共享而不暴露原始图数据。大量实验表明,与最佳基线相比,FedOGL将灾难性遗忘导致的性能下降降低42.67%,同时保持或提升下游任务表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Federated graph learning enables collaborative training over decentralized graph data without sharing raw graph information. As such risks evolve, clients must learn emerging classes from private multimodal graph streams, retain historical categories, and reject samples outside the known class space. In this setting, clients must learn emerging classes from private multimodal graph streams while preserving historical categories and rejecting samples outside the current known class space. The core challenge is catastrophic forgetting, which in federated multimodal graphs is not merely a classifier-level failure: old knowledge can be erased through modality-semantic overwriting, topology-induced structural erosion, and federated memory fragmentation. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{FedOGL}, a semantic-structural memory preservation framework. On the client side, FedOGL preserves historical decision behavior through replay and task-start distillation, while protecting graph-propagation memory via projection onto a globally shared structure basis. On the server side, FedOGL maintains and transfers compact category prototypes to facilitate cross-client knowledge sharing without exposing raw graph data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that, compared with the best-performing baselines, FedOGL reduces performance degradation caused by catastrophic forgetting by \textbf{42.67\%}, while maintaining or improving performance on downstream tasks.
