FedBFGCN: A Graph Federated Learning Framework Based on Balanced Channel Attention and Cross-Layer Feature Fusion Convolution by Hefei Wang, Ruichun Gu, Jingyu Wang, Xiaolin Zhang, Hui Wei

“…However, existing methods normally assign equal attention to all nodes within a single graph, focusing too much on the information of neighboring nodes, even if some nodes are more important in the graph structure or task (such as high consumption users or popular products), which inevitably leads to inefficient node embedding. To address this issue, this paper proposes an innovative graph federated learning framework called FedBFGCN (Graph Federated Learning Based on Balanced Channel Attention and Cross-Layer Feature Fusion Convolution) to optimize the embedding and analysis efficiency of graph data. …”
