Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues of timeliness and accuracy are becoming increasingly important with the advent of heterogeneous applications/networks and standardization of new services in areas of Cyber-Physical systems where the popular performance measures such as the throughput, error rate and packet loss lose their intuitive interpretation and new formal metrics must be defined on which the intuition will be built. To solve this problem, Semantic of Information has been recently introduced: the purpose and the final utility of the delivered data should be considered, and the performance is to be related to the semantics. In this thesis, we explore two major issues in the area of semantic communications. First, we investigate the issue of wireless sensing in non-real time systems when the time delivery constraints are not restricted to be in real domain and the system tolerates delay in accessing the measurement results. To illustrate the application of this principle, we use the Markovian Gaussian models, and assuming the information semantic, we study the optimal estimation methods to non-causally reconstruct the source signal. We derive the explicit expressions and optimal buffer management policies for the proposed information accuracy metric. Second, we evaluate the impact of the erroneous wireless control feedback channel using the Age of Information, one particular metric for semantic communications to capture the freshness and timeliness of information in real-time applications. To mitigate the impact of the imperfect feedback channel on the system performance, we adopt a Binary Asymmetric Channel model to control the detection accuracy of the control signals. We then compute the explicit expressions for the average Age of Information. Further, we show the optimum parameter design for the control channel model in order to minimize the average Age of Information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the traditional document-centric Web 1.0 and user-generated content focused Web 2.0, Web 3.0 has become a repository of an ever growing variety of Web resources that include data and services associated with enterprises, social networks, sensors, cloud, as well as mobile and other devices that constitute the Internet of Things. These pose unprecedented challenges in terms of heterogeneity (variety), scale (volume), and continuous changes (velocity), as well as present corresponding opportunities if they can be exploited. Just as semantics has played a critical role in dealing with data heterogeneity in the past to provide interoperability and integration, it is playing an even more critical role in dealing with the challenges and helping users and applications exploit all forms of Web 3.0 data. This book presents a unified approach to harness and exploit all forms of contemporary Web resources using the core principles of ability to associate meaning with data through conceptual or domain models and semantic descriptions including annotations, and through advanced semantic techniques for search, integration, and analysis. It discusses the use of Semantic Web standards and techniques when appropriate, but also advocates the use of lighter weight, easier to use, and more scalable options when they are more suitable. The authors' extensive experience spanning research and prototypes to development of operational applications and commercial technologies and products guide the treatment of the material.

Download or read book Universal Semantic Communication written by Brendan Juba and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is meaningful communication possible between two intelligent parties who share no common language or background? In this work, a theoretical framework is proposed in which it is possible to address when and to what extent such semantic communication is possible: such problems can be rigorously addressed by explicitly focusing on the goals of the communication. Under this framework, it is possible to show that for many goals, communication without any common language or background is possible using universal protocols. This work should be accessible to anyone with an undergraduate-level knowledge of the theory of computation. The theoretical framework presented here is of interest to anyone wishing to design systems with flexible interfaces, either among computers or between computers and their users.
Download or read book Foundations of Semantic Communication Networks written by Walid Saad and published by Wiley-IEEE Press. This book was released on 2024-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive overview of the principles, theories, and techniques needed to build end-to-end semantic communication systems, with case studies included. In this rapidly evolving landscape, the integration of connected intelligence applications highlights the pressing need for networks to gain intelligence in a non-siloed and ad hoc manner. The traditional incremental approach to network design is no longer sufficient to support the diverse and dynamic requirements of these emerging applications. This necessitates a paradigm shift towards more intelligent and adaptive network architectures. From theory to application, Foundations of Semantic Communication Networks describes and provides a comprehensive understanding of everything needed to build end-to-end semantic communication systems. This book covers various interdisciplinary topics such as the mathematical foundations of semantic communications, information theoretical perspectives, joint-source channel coding, semantic-aware resource management strategies, interoperability under heterogeneous semantic communication users, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine reasoning techniques for enabling connected intelligent applications, secure and privacy-preserving semantic communication systems, and the coexistence and interoperability of semantic, goal-oriented, and legacy systems. The book examines unique features of end-to-end networking with semantic communications, including instilling reasoning behaviors in communication nodes, the role of the semantic plane in information filtering, control of communication and computing resources, transmit and receive signaling schemes, and connected intelligence device control. It emphasizes the importance of data semantics and age of information metrics. The book also discusses the profound impact of semantic communications on the telecom industry, highlighting changes in network performance, resource management, traffic, as well as spectral and energy efficiency. Furthermore, the book provides insights into the mathematical constructs and AI theories for formulating semantic information, such as topology and category theory. It explores real-world applications, case studies, and future research directions as wireless technologies transition to 6G and beyond. Written by four recognized experts in the field with a wealth of expertise from academia, industry, and research institutions, Foundations of Semantic Communication Networks addresses sample topics, including: Novel Semantic Information Formulations: Proposing new formulations using rigorous mathematical frameworks such as category theory and algebraic topology. Practical Applications and Networking Features: Focusing on real-world scenarios, addressing multiple access and networking challenges through collaborative frameworks for multi-modal transmissions, examining multiple access schemes to enhance transmission efficiency, and ensuring coexistence with legacy systems. AI-Native Air Interface and Semantic-Aware Resource Allocation: Enabling efficient large-scale systems for 6G and beyond wireless systems through AI-native air interfaces and semantic-aware resource allocation strategies. Advanced AI and Machine Reasoning: Utilizing causality and neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence for minimalistic transmissions, and achieving generalizability and transferability across contexts and data distributions to develop high-fidelity semantic communication systems. Multi-Domain Security Vulnerabilities: Examining security vulnerabilities associated with deep neural networks in semantic communications, and proposing encrypted, privacy-preserving semantic communication systems (ESCS) as a solution. Foundations of Semantic Communication Networks is an excellent forward-thinking resource on the subject for readers with a strong background in the subject matter, including graduate-level students, academics, practitioners, and industry researchers.
Download or read book Wireless Semantic Communications written by Yao Sun and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-09-23 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand the cutting-edge technology of semantic communications and its growing applications Semantic communications constitute a revolution in wireless technology, combining semantic theory with wireless communication. In a semantic communication, essential information is encoded at the source, drastically reducing the required data usage, and then decoded at the destination in such a way that all key information is recovered, even if transmission is damaged or incomplete. Enhancing the correspondence between background knowledge at source and destination can drive the data usage requirement even lower, producing ultra-efficient information exchanges with ultra-low semantic ambiguity. Wireless Semantic Communications offers a comprehensive overview of this groundbreaking field, its development, and its future application. Beginning with an introduction to semantic communications and its foundational principles, the book then proceeds to cover transceiver design and methods, before discussing use cases and future developments. The result is an indispensable resource for understanding the future of wireless communication. Readers will also find: Analysis of transceiver optimization methods and resource management for semantic communication Detailed discussion of topics including semantic encoding and decoding, Shannon information theory, and many more A team of editors with decades of combined experience in the study of wireless communications Wireless Semantic Communications is ideal for electrical and computing engineers and researchers, as well as industry professionals working in wireless communications.

Download or read book Default Semantics written by K. M. Jaszczolt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering book Kasia Jaszczolt lays down the foundations of an original theory of meaning in discourse, reveals the cognitive foundations of discourse interpretation, and puts forward a new basis for the analysis of discourse processing. She provides a step-by-step introduction to the theory and its application, and explains new terms and formalisms as required. Dr Jaszczolt unites the precision of truth-conditional, dynamic approaches with insights from neo-Gricean pragmatics into the role of speaker's intentions in communication. She shows that the compositionality of meaning may be understood as merger representations combining information from various sources including word meaning and sentence structure, various kinds of default interpretations, and conscious pragmatic inference. Among the applications the author discusses are constructions that pose problems in semantic analysis such as referring expressions, propositional attitude constructions, presupposition, modality, numerals, and sentential connectives. She proposes solutions to cutting edge problems in the semantics/pragmatics interface - for example, how many levels of meaning should be distinguished; the status of under-specification; how much contextual information should be placed in the representation of the speaker's meaning; whether there are default interpretations; the stage of utterance interpretation at which pragmatic inference begins; and whether compositionality is a necessary feature of the theory of meaning and if so how it is to be defined. The book is for advanced students and researchers in semantics, pragmatics, computational linguistics, and philosophy of language.

Download or read book The Semantic Structure of Written Communication written by John Beekman and published by Summer Institute of Linguistics, Academic Publications. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides a brief overview of the basic relationships of meaning and structure of a language. The overview is followed by a more detailed analysis and practical application of the semantic relationships from the lowest level propositions through the highest level units of the text. A significant portion of the work addresses the semantic relations and roles of the communication units. The theory described in The Semantic Structure of Written Communication is applied in the books in the Semantic Structure Analyses Series. Each book has a systematic presentation, via a standard format and a tightly controlled discourse analysis of the Semantic Structure of the Greek text of the New Testament. The books in the Semantic Structure Analyses Series are designed to be used as a special kind of commentary to help translators find the precise meaning of the Source Language text. The SSA books are especially useful at points where regular New Testament commentaries are in disagreement or do not address themselves to the questions that translators are obliged to answer in the process of their work. In its format, an SSA includes a display of the semantic content and structure of each paragraph and each grouping of paragraphs in the text, in a form somewhat resembling a tree diagram. Also included are notes and comments justifying the analytical and exegetical decisions presented.
