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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

FedV-KGQA: Multi-Hop Question Answering over Vertically Partitioned Knowledge Graphs

FedV-KGQA is a framework for multi-hop question answering over knowledge graphs that are vertically partitioned across different organizations. It allows entities to be shared while each silo retains disjoint sets of relations, using local graph enrichment and knowledge graph embeddings so that raw triples and relation parameters never leave the silo. The system includes a topic entity anchoring mechanism to ground questions in the correct graph neighborhood without runtime inter-silo communication, and it achieves performance close to centralized systems on three benchmarks, including 3-hop reasoning and robustness to embedding perturbations.
