The SFL Challenge: Interconnected Subgraphs & Privacy
Federated Learning (FL) for graph-structured data, particularly Subgraph Federated Learning (SFL), faces significant challenges when subgraphs are interconnected across clients. Existing methods either risk privacy by sharing sensitive node embeddings or are computationally intensive, hindering scalability. This paper introduces FEDLAP to overcome these limitations.

FEDLAP's Core Innovation: Laplacian Smoothing in Spectral Domain
FEDLAP captures inter-node dependencies by integrating Laplacian smoothing as a regularizer within the loss function. This implicitly enforces similar structural embeddings among neighboring nodes without explicitly exchanging sensitive data, thus mitigating privacy risks associated with traditional message passing methods. The spectral domain approach allows for efficient truncation and privacy-preserving computation.

Decentralized Arnoldi Iteration for Scalability & Privacy
To efficiently compute the partial spectral decomposition required by FEDLAP+, a decentralized version of the Arnoldi iteration is proposed. This approach significantly reduces computational cost (O(nr²), linear in n for sparse graphs) and improves efficiency, making it scalable for large, sparse graphs. Crucially, information is exchanged only once before training, and only model parameters are shared thereafter, as in standard FL, ensuring privacy.
Impact in Anti-Money Laundering
In anti-money laundering (AML) applications, financial institutions need to detect suspicious activities across interconnected accounts. FEDLAP allows these institutions to collaborate on graph-based anomaly detection without directly sharing sensitive customer data or transaction details. By leveraging shared structural insights via spectral methods, FEDLAP enables more accurate fraud detection while adhering to strict privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. This mitigates the risk of exposing sensitive identifiers (e.g., IBANs) during cross-institution analysis, a common challenge in traditional federated graph approaches.
