误差检测与纠正对现代通信系统的鲁棒性至关重要,尤其在复杂传输环境中。然而,语义通信(SemCom)虽以传递意义为核心,显著提升效率,却长期忽视语义误差问题——即发送与接收语义之间的差异,严重影响系统可靠性。本文提出一套完整的语义误差检测与纠正框架,明确定义语义误差及其检测、纠正机制,并识别关键误差来源。为此,我们设计基于高斯过程(GP)的隐空间监控方法用于误差检测,同时提出人机协同强化学习(HITL-RL)策略,利用用户反馈优化语义模型配置。实验验证了该方法在对抗攻击、输入特征变化、物理信道波动及用户偏好迁移等多种条件下的有效性。本工作为构建更可靠、自适应的语义通信系统奠定了基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Error detection and correction are essential for ensuring robust and reliable operation in modern communication systems, particularly in complex transmission environments. However, discussions on these topics have largely been overlooked in semantic communication (SemCom), which focuses on transmitting meaning rather than symbols, leading to significant improvements in communication efficiency. Despite these advantages, semantic errors -- stemming from discrepancies between transmitted and received meanings -- present a major challenge to system reliability. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a comprehensive framework for detecting and correcting semantic errors in SemCom systems. We formally define semantic error, detection, and correction mechanisms, and identify key sources of semantic errors. To address these challenges, we develop a Gaussian process (GP)-based method for latent space monitoring to detect errors, alongside a human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning (HITL-RL) approach to optimize semantic model configurations using user feedback. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods in mitigating semantic errors under various conditions, including adversarial attacks, input feature changes, physical channel variations, and user preference shifts. This work lays the foundation for more reliable and adaptive SemCom systems with robust semantic error management techniques.
