SemanticNN: Compressive and Error-Resilient Semantic Offloading for Extremely Weak Devices

  • 用语义级纠错替代比特级纠错,适应动态网络。
  • 传输量减少56.82至344.83倍,准确率仍领先。
  • 专为资源不对称的设备-边缘协同设计,适合物联网场景。

随着物联网快速发展,将人工智能部署于极度受限的嵌入式设备成为研究热点,可提升实时性并增强数据隐私。然而,设备资源有限且网络不稳定,亟需具备容错能力的设备-边缘协作系统。传统方法聚焦比特级传输正确性,在动态信道下效率低下。本文提出SemanticNN,一种容忍比特错误但保障语义正确的语义编码器,实现压缩且鲁棒的协同推理卸载。其采用比特误码率(BER)感知解码器以适应动态信道,并基于软量化(SQ)的编码器学习紧凑表征。在此基础上,提出特征增强学习策略,提升卸载效率。针对编码-解码能力不对称问题,引入基于XAI的不对称补偿机制,增强解码语义保真度。在STM32平台,使用三个模型和六个数据集(涵盖图像分类与目标检测任务)进行大量实验。结果表明,在不同误码率下,SemanticNN使特征传输量减少56.82–344.83倍,同时保持优异推理精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), integrating artificial intelligence (AI) on extremely weak embedded devices has garnered significant attention, enabling improved real-time performance and enhanced data privacy. However, the resource limitations of such devices and unreliable network conditions necessitate error-resilient device-edge collaboration systems. Traditional approaches focus on bit-level transmission correctness, which can be inefficient under dynamic channel conditions. In contrast, we propose SemanticNN, a semantic codec that tolerates bit-level errors in pursuit of semantic-level correctness, enabling compressive and resilient collaborative inference offloading under strict computational and communication constraints. It incorporates a Bit Error Rate (BER)-aware decoder that adapts to dynamic channel conditions and a Soft Quantization (SQ)-based encoder to learn compact representations. Building on this architecture, we introduce Feature-augmentation Learning, a novel training strategy that enhances offloading efficiency. To address encoder-decoder capability mismatches from asymmetric resources, we propose XAI-based Asymmetry Compensation to enhance decoding semantic fidelity. We conduct extensive experiments on STM32 using three models and six datasets across image classification and object detection tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that, under varying transmission error rates, SemanticNN significantly reduces feature transmission volume by 56.82-344.83x while maintaining superior inference accuracy.
