• Abstract: Existing deep learning-enabled semantic communication systems often rely on shared background knowledge between the transmitter and receiver that includes empirical data and their associated semantic information. In practice, the semantic information is defined by the pragmatic task of the receiver and cannot be known to the transmitter. The actual observable data at the transmitter can also have non-identical distribution with the empirical data in the shared background knowledge library. To address these practical issues, this paper proposes a new neural network-based semantic communication system for image transmission, where the task is unaware at the transmitter and the data environment is dynamic. The system consists of two main parts, namely the semantic extraction (SE) network and the data adaptation (DA) network. The SE network learns how to extract the semantic information using a receiver-leading training process. By using domain adaptation technique from transfer learning, the DA network learns how to convert the data observed into a similar form of the empirical data that the SE network can process without re-training. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method can be adaptive to observable datasets while keeping high performance in terms of both data recovery and task execution.

  Continual learning allows models to learn from new data while retaining previously learned knowledge. The semantic knowledge available in the label information of the images, offers important semantic information that can be related with previously acquired knowledge of semantic classes. We propose integrating semantic guidance within and across tasks by capturing semantic similarity using text embeddings.

  Recent studies on semantic communication rely on neural network (NN) based transceivers such as deep joint source and channel coding (DeepJSCC) Unlike traditional transceivers, these neural transceivers are trainable using actual source data and channels, enabling them to extract and communicate semantics. We propose a distributed learning based solution, which leverages split learning (SL) and partial NN fine-tuning techniques.

  A novel machine reasoning framework is proposed to disentangle source data so as to make it semantic-ready. In particular, a novel contrastive learning framework is proposed, whereby instance and cluster discrimination are performed on the data. Deep semantic clusters of highest confidence are considered learnable, semantic-rich data. Our simulation results showcase the superiority of our contrastive learning approach in terms of semantic impact and minimalism.
