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.

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.
