Toward Federated Multimodal Graph Foundation Models: A Topology-Aware Multimodal Alignment Framework

arXiv:2607. 15687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry modalities such as images and text alongside topological structure, now pervade applications including social platforms, e-commerce, and biomedical networks, offering richer semantic signals than single-modality graphs.

Towards Effective Federated Multimodal Graph Learning via Navigating Multifaceted Heterogeneity

arXiv:2608. 00623v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), where nodes carry heterogeneous semantic content across multiple modalities while edges encode relational dependencies, have been widely adopted across diverse domains.
