FedLAGC: Towards High Performance System-Heterogeneous Federated Learning via Layer-Adaptive Submodel Extraction and Gradient Correction

AAAI 2026technical

Federated learning has emerged as a promising paradigm for collaborative model training while preserving data privacy. However, many existing FL methods implicitly assume that clients have sufficient computational and storage resources, making them less applicable in real-world scenarios with severe

Guiding Diffusion Models with Fine-Grained Conditions and Semantics-Preserving Sampling for One-Shot Federated Learning

CVPR 2026

One-shot Federated Learning (OSFL) has emerged as a promising paradigm to mitigate the high communication overhead of traditional federated learning. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by data heterogeneity across clients. While recent methods leverage pre-trained diffusion models to gener

ParaAegis: Parallel Protection for Flexible Privacy-preserved Federated Learning

ICASSP 2026poster

Federated learning (FL) faces a critical dilemma: existing protection mechanisms like differential privacy (DP) and homomorphic encryption (HE) enforce a rigid trade-off, forcing a choice between model utility and computational efficiency. This lack of flexibility hinders the practical implementatio…

Prototype-guided Bilateral Alignment Multimodal Federated Learning

ICML 2026spotlight

Multimodal federated learning (MFL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for leveraging distributed data to enhance model performance. However, existing methods predominantly rely on idealized assumptions of model homogeneity and balanced modality distributions, rendering them ill-suited for practical …

Beyond Federated Prototype Learning: Learnable Semantic Anchors with Hyperspherical Contrast for Domain-Skewed Data

AAAI 2025technical

Federated prototype learning is in the spotlight as global prototypes are effective in enhancing the learning of local representation spaces, facilitating the ability to generalize the global model. However, when encountering domain-skewed data, conventional federated prototype learning is susceptib…

FedBG: Proactively Mitigating Bias in Cross-Domain Graph Federated Learning Using Background Data

IJCAI 2025

Federated graph learning is focused on aggregating knowledge from multi-source graph data and training graph neural networks. Unlike the data that traditional federated learning needs to deal with, federated graph learning also needs to face additional topological information. Further, there are als

Federated Domain Generalization with Decision Insight Matrix

IJCAI 2025

Federated domain generalization addresses the crucial challenge of developing models that can generalize across diverse domains while maintaining data privacy in federated learning settings. Current approaches either compromise privacy constraints or focus narrowly on specific aspects of model invar

GLNCD: Graph-Level Novel Category Discovery

NeurIPS 2025poster

Graph classification has long assumed a closed-world setting, limiting its applicability to real-world scenarios where new categories often emerge. To address this limitation, we introduce Graph-Level Novel Category Discovery (GLNCD), a new task aimed at identifying unseen graph categories without s…

Learn from Global Rather Than Local: Consistent Context-Aware Representation Learning for Multi-View Graph Clustering

IJCAI 2025

Multi-view graph clustering (MVGC) has been of widespread interest owing to the ability of capturing the complementary information among views, thereby enhancing the performance of node clustering. Despite the impressive achievements of existing methods, they are limited by a common deficiency, name

Less is More: Federated Graph Learning with Alleviating Topology Heterogeneity from A Causal Perspective

ICML 2025poster

Federated graph learning (FGL) aims to collaboratively train a global graph neural network (GNN) on multiple private graphs with preserving the local data privacy. Besides the common cases of data heterogeneity in conventional federated learning, FGL faces the unique challenge of topology heterogene…

Soft-consensual Federated Learning for Data Heterogeneity via Multiple Paths

NeurIPS 2025poster

Federated learning enables collaborative training while preserving the privacy of all participants. However, the heterogeneity in data distribution across multiple training nodes poses significant challenges to the construction of federated models. Prior studies were dedicated to mitigating the effe…

Towards Understanding Parametric Generalized Category Discovery on Graphs

ICML 2025poster

Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to identify both known and novel categories in unlabeled data by leveraging knowledge from old classes. However, existing methods are limited to non-graph data; lack theoretical foundations to answer *When and how known classes can help GCD*. We introduce th…
