FlatLand: Personalized Graph Federated Learning via Tailored Lorentz Space

FlatLand is a personalized federated learning approach that embeds each client’s graph data into a tailored Lorentz space, leveraging hyperbolic geometry’s negative curvature to model graph structures. The method introduces a parameter decoupling strategy that separates client‑specific heterogeneity (time‑like parameters) from shared knowledge (space‑like parameters), allowing direct aggregation without extra similarity estimation. Experiments on various federated graph learning tasks show that FlatLand outperforms existing methods, especially in low‑dimensional settings.

From Euclidean to Graph-Structured Data: A Survey of Collaborative Learning

The paper surveys collaborative learning methods that move beyond traditional Euclidean data to graph-structured data. It reviews foundational principles for Euclidean settings—learning effectiveness, efficiency, and privacy—and then extends the discussion to graph data, presenting a taxonomy of distribution scenarios, statistical heterogeneities, and standardized problem formulations. The survey also outlines open challenges and future research directions in this emerging field.

FedOPAL: One-Shot Federated Learning via Analytic Visual Prompt Tuning

With the widespread deployment of basic models in edge intelligence, communication bandwidth has become a core bottleneck restricting the scalability of federated learning. Although one-shot federated learning alleviates this problem by minimizing communication rounds, existing iterative fine-tuning or knowledge distillation methods still face challenges such as high server-side computational costs and hyperparameter sensitivity.

Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

The paper introduces a compositional graph embedding framework based on Aitchison geometry, where nodes are represented as simplex-valued mixtures over latent archetypal factors. By embedding these mixtures using isometric log-ratio coordinates, the method preserves Aitchison distances while allowing unconstrained optimization in Euclidean space, yielding intrinsically interpretable embeddings. The approach achieves competitive performance on node classification and link prediction tasks and enables principled component restriction through subcompositional coherence, allowing analysis of how archetype groups influence representations and predictions.
