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.

GOMA: Toward Structure-Driven Multimodal Alignment from a Graph Signal Smoothing Perspective

GOMA (Graph-Optimized Multimodal Alignment) introduces a dual-embedding approach for multimodal retrieval, separating content embeddings supervised for paired identity from semantic embeddings trained with cross-modal pairs and observed relationships. The method fuses these embeddings, applies semantic agreement to weight graph edges, and uses restart graph propagation to reinforce the initial signal, enabling both single-modality and dual-attribute retrieval. Across six datasets and four tasks, GOMA outperforms 14 external methods on 14 primary metrics, with controlled experiments highlighting the impact of separate supervision, graph regularization, and semantic-guided propagation.
