Federated Graph Learning (FGL) is an emerging technology enabling clients to train powerful Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) without exposing private data. However, FGL faces the challenge of non-Independent and Identically Distributed (non-IID) graphs with diverse node and edge structures across domains. Existing methods overlook structural knowledge or capture it at increased resource costs, detrimental to distributed paradigms. We propose FedDense, a novel FGL framework optimizing inherent structural knowledge utilization efficiency. It encodes structural knowledge within graph data alongside node features and introduces a Dual-Densely Connected (DDC) GNN architecture exploiting multi-scale feature insights. To address resource limitations, we devise narrow layers and adopt selective parameter sharing to reduce costs substantially. We conduct extensive experiments across 4 domains using 15 datasets, demonstrating FedDense consistently outperforms baselines while demanding minimal resources.

Federated Graph Learning lets computers train powerful networks without sharing private data. However, this technology faces a big challenge: the graphs used are very different from each other and contain various structures. Existing methods either don’t use these structural differences or do so at the cost of using more resources, which is not good for distributed training. To solve this problem, we created FedDense, a new framework that makes efficient use of the inherent structure in graph data. It does this by encoding the structural knowledge within the graph data itself and introducing a special type of neural network architecture that uses information from different scales. We also designed our framework to work efficiently with limited resources. Our experiments on 15 datasets across 4 domains show that FedDense outperforms existing methods while using minimal resources.
