IEEE ICCC 2023 Workshop on
Semantic Communications
Dalian, China|10-12 August 2023
Scope:
The continuously increasing demand for communication causes the explosion of wireless data traffic, and places a heavy burden on the current infrastructure of communication systems. Different from the traditional communication approaches which consider only the accurate representation and transmission of bits and symbols, semantic communication systems transmit the semantic or task relevant information while remove the redundancy to improve transmission efficiency. Tremendous advances in machine learning (DNNs in particular) have yielded significant insights in semantic communications. Empowering multimedia semantic representation, encoding, and transmission components through deep learning provides a viable opportunity for semantic communication. In order to develop a powerful multimedia semantic communication system with higher transmission efficiency and better quality of service, multimedia semantic representation, semantic coding, transmission, protocols, and evaluation criteria must be designed. This workshop aims at bringing together the researchers and practitioners interested in multimedia semantic communication and systems to address the topic, present their novel solutions, and discuss technical challenges.
