Abstract
Semantic communication enables intelligent agents to extract meaning (or semantics) of information via interaction, to carry out collaborative tasks. In this paper, we study semantic communication from a topological space perspective, in which higher-order data semantics live in a simplicial complex. Specifically, a transmitter first maps its data into a k-order simplicial complex and then learns its high-order correlations. The simplicial structure and corresponding features are encoded into semantic embeddings in latent space for transmission. Subsequently, the receiver decodes the structure and infers the missing or distorted data. The transmitter and receiver collaboratively train a simplicial convolutional autoencoder to accomplish the semantic communication task. Experiments are carried out on a real dataset of Semantic Scholar Open Research Corpus, where one part of the semantic embedding is missing or distorted during communication. Numerical results show that the simplicial convolutional autoencoder enabled semantic communication effectively rebuilds the simplicial features and infer the missing data with 95% accuracy, while achieving stable performance under channel noise. In contrast, the conventional autoencoder enabled communication fails to infer any missing data. Moreover, our approach is shown to effectively infer the distorted data without prior simplicial structure knowledge at the receiver, by learning extracted semantic information during communications. Leveraging the topological nature of information, the proposed method is also shown to be more reliable and efficient compared to several baselines, notably at low signal-to-noise (SNR) levels.
