Multimodal graph learning (MGL) has emerged as a promising field, enabling the integration of diverse data types and structures for various network applications. Traditionally, this area has faced challenges due to limitations in data sharing across multiple parties and incomplete modalities within real-world graphs. Researchers had largely relied on centralized methods, which often fell short in federated scenarios.
Recent developments highlight significant conflicts in existing methodologies. While centralized MGL approaches often neglect the value of knowledge sharing, federated MGL solutions tend to focus on non-graph data, overlooking critical needs. The recognition of these shortcomings has prompted a reevaluation of strategies aimed at creating more robust models.
In response, the introduction of a two-stage pipeline has been proposed. This approach facilitates client-side completion of missing modalities and server-side aggregation of client updates. However, two major challenges remain: effectively leveraging global semantics for local completion and managing reliability imbalances in global aggregation.
The newly proposed model, FedMPO, addresses these issues through innovative techniques. -aware cross-modal generation, local filtering of noisy signals, and reliability-aware aggregation, FedMPO shows marked improvements. Experiments reveal performance gains of up to 5.65% in challenging settings, marking a significant advancement in the field of federated multimodal graph learning.
