Federated Cross-Client Subgraph Pattern Detection

Subgraph pattern detection aims to uncover complex interaction structures in graphs. However, state-of-the-art graph neural network (GNN)-based solutions assume centralized access to the entire graph. When graphs are instead distributed across multiple parties, client-local GNN computations diverge from those of a centralized model, resulting in a representation-equivalence gap. We formalize this as a structural observability problem, where subgraph patterns crossing partition boundaries become locally unidentifiable. To bridge this gap, we propose a per-step, layer-wise embedding exchange framework in which clients synchronize intermediate node representations at each layer of the forward pass, without exposing raw features or labels. Under an extended-subgraph assumption and shared model parameters across clients, this framework recovers the same node representations as a centralized GNN over the full graph. Experiments on synthetic directed multigraphs with cycles, bicliques, and scatter-gather patterns show that embedding exchange and federated parameter aggregation are complementary rather than interchangeable: their combination recovers most of the representation gap, provided exchanged embeddings are fresh per-step rather than stale per-epoch.

Provably Powerful Graph Neural Networks for Directed Multigraphs

This paper analyses a set of simple adaptations that transform standard message-passing Graph Neural Networks (GNN) into provably powerful directed multigraph neural networks. The adaptations include multigraph port numbering, ego IDs, and reverse message passing. We prove that the combination of these theoretically enables the detection of any directed subgraph pattern. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed adaptations in practice, we conduct experiments on synthetic subgraph detection tasks, which demonstrate outstanding performance with almost perfect results. Moreover, we apply our proposed adaptations to two financial crime analysis tasks. We observe dramatic improvements in detecting money laundering transactions, improving the minority-class F1 score of a standard message-passing GNN by up to 30%, and closely matching or outperforming tree-based and GNN baselines. Similarly impressive results are observed on a real-world phishing detection dataset, boosting three standard GNNs' F1 scores by around 15% and outperforming all baselines.

Scalable Fine-Grained Parallel Cycle Enumeration Algorithms

Enumerating simple cycles has important applications in computational biology, network science, and financial crime analysis. In this work, we focus on parallelising the state-of-the-art simple cycle enumeration algorithms by Johnson and Read-Tarjan along with their applications to temporal graphs. To our knowledge, we are the first ones to parallelise these two algorithms in a fine-grained manner. We are also the first to demonstrate experimentally a linear performance scaling. Such a scaling is made possible by our decomposition of long sequential searches into fine-grained tasks, which are then dynamically scheduled across CPU cores, enabling an optimal load balancing. Furthermore, we show that coarse-grained parallel versions of the Johnson and the Read-Tarjan algorithms that exploit edge- or vertex-level parallelism are not scalable. On a cluster of four multi-core CPUs with $256$ physical cores, our fine-grained parallel algorithms are, on average, an order of magnitude faster than their coarse-grained parallel counterparts. The performance gap between the fine-grained and the coarse-grained parallel algorithms widens as we use more CPU cores. When using all 256 CPU cores, our parallel algorithms enumerate temporal cycles, on average, $260\times$ faster than the serial algorithm of Kumar and Calders.
