Abstract

Semantic communication is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of future AI-driven communication systems. Its challenge of extracting semantic information from the original complex content and regenerating semantically consistent data at the receiver, possibly being robust to channel corruptions, can be addressed with deep generative models. This ICASSP special session overview paper discloses the semantic communication challenges from the machine learning perspective and unveils how deep generative models will significantly enhance semantic communication frameworks in dealing with real-world complex data, extracting and exploiting semantic information, and being robust to channel corruptions. Alongside establishing this emerging field, this paper charts novel research pathways for the next generative semantic communication frameworks.
