FedV-KGQA in Practice: Design Lessons and an Interactive Prototype

FedV-KGQA addresses multi‑hop question answering over vertically partitioned knowledge graphs where each silo holds disjoint relation types. The system trains local embeddings, concatenates silo‑specific entity views, anchors questions at a topic entity, and ranks candidates without sharing raw triples. Experiments show federated fusion nearly matches centralized accuracy, that anchoring and enrichment are more critical than embedding choice, and that the cheapest encoder depends on target accuracy.
