Unsupervised Federated Graph Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Federated graph learning (FGL) is a privacy-preserving paradigm for modeling distributed graph data, designed to train a powerful global graph neural network. Existing FGL methods predominantly rely on label information during training, effective FGL in an unsupervised setting remains largely unexplored territory. In this paper, we address two key challenges in unsupervised FGL: 1) Local models tend to converge in divergent directions due to the lack of shared semantic information across clients. Then, how to align representation spaces among multiple clients is the first challenge.
