A highly reliable encoding and decoding communication framework based on semantic information

Increasing research has focused on semantic communication,the goal of which is to convey accurately the meaning instead of transmitting symbols from the sender to the receiver.In this paper,we design a novel encoding and decoding semantic communication framework,which adopts the semantic information and the contextual correlations between items to optimize the performance of a communication system over various channels.On the sender side,the average semantic loss caused by the wrong detection is defined,and a semantic source encoding strategy is developed to minimize the average semantic loss.To further improve communication reliability,a decoding strategy that utilizes the semantic and the context information to recover messages is proposed in the receiver.Extensive simulation results validate the superior performance of our strategies over state-of-the-art semantic coding and decoding policies on different communication channels.

On the Manipulation of the Selectivity of Encoding and Decoding overthe Translator's Subjectivity

The translation activity is a process of the interlinguistic transmission of information realized by the information encoding and decoding.Encoding and decoding,cognitive practices operated in objective contexts,are inevitably of selectivity ascribing to the restriction of contextual reasons.The translator as the intermediary agent connects the original author(encoder)and the target readers(decoder),shouldering the dual duties of the decoder and the encoder,for which his subjectivity is irrevocably manipulated by the selectivity of encoding and decoding.

Brain Encoding and Decoding in fMRI with Bidirectional Deep Generative Models

Brain encoding and decoding via functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)are two important aspects of visual perception neuroscience.Although previous researchers have made significant advances in brain encoding and decoding models,existing methods still require improvement using advanced machine learning techniques.For example,traditional methods usually build the encoding and decoding models separately,and are prone to overfitting on a small dataset.In fact,effectively unifying the encoding and decoding procedures may allow for more accurate predictions.In this paper,we first review the existing encoding and decoding methods and discuss the potential advantages of a“bidirectional”modeling strategy.Next,we show that there are correspondences between deep neural networks and human visual streams in terms of the architecture and computational rules.Furthermore,deep generative models(e.g.,variational autoencoders(VAEs)and generative adversarial networks(GANs))have produced promising results in studies on brain encoding and decoding.Finally,we propose that the dual learning method,which was originally designed for machine translation tasks,could help to improve the performance of encoding and decoding models by leveraging large-scale unpaired data.

Encoding-Decoding-Based Control and Filtering of Networked Systems： Insights, Developments and Opportunities

In order to make the information transmission more efficient and reliable in a digital communication channel with limited capacity, various encoding-decoding techniques have been proposed and widely applied in many branches of the signal processing including digital communications, data compression,information encryption, etc. Recently, due to its promising application potentials in the networked systems(NSs), the analysis and synthesis issues of the NSs under various encoding-decoding schemes have stirred some research attention. However, because of the network-enhanced complexity caused by the limited network resources, it poses new challenges to the design of suitable encoding-decoding procedures to meet certain control or filtering performance for the NSs. In this survey paper, our aim is to present a comprehensive review of the encoding-decodingbased control and filtering problems for different types of NSs.First, some basic introduction with respect to the coding-decoding mechanism is presented in terms of its engineering insights,specific properties and theoretical formulations. Then, the recent representative research progress in the design of the encodingdecoding protocols for various control and filtering problems is discussed. Some possible further research topics are finally outlined for the encoding-decoding-based NSs.

Underwater Object Recognition Based on Deep Encoding-Decoding Network

Ocean underwater exploration is a part of oceanography that investigates the physical and biological conditions for scientific and commercial purposes. And video technology plays an important role and is extensively applied for underwater environment observation. Different from the conventional methods, video technology explores the underwater ecosystem continuously and non-invasively. However, due to the scattering and attenuation of light transport in the water, complex noise distribution and lowlight condition cause challenges for underwater video applications including object detection and recognition. In this paper, we propose a new deep encoding-decoding convolutional architecture for underwater object recognition. It uses the deep encoding-decoding network for extracting the discriminative features from the noisy low-light underwater images. To create the deconvolutional layers for classification, we apply the deconvolution kernel with a matched feature map, instead of full connection, to solve the problem of dimension disaster and low accuracy. Moreover, we introduce data augmentation and transfer learning technologies to solve the problem of data starvation. For experiments, we investigated the public datasets with our proposed method and the state-of-the-art methods. The results show that our work achieves significant accuracy. This work provides new underwater technologies applied for ocean exploration.

Novel joint encoding/decoding algorithms of fountain codes for underwater acoustic communication

Fountain codes are considered to be a promising coding technique in underwater acoustic communication（UAC） which is challenged with the unique propagation features of the underwater acoustic channel and the harsh marine environment. And Luby transform（LT） codes are the first codes fully realizing the digital fountain concept. However, in conventional LT encoding/decoding algorithms, due to the imperfect coverage（IC） of input symbols and short cycles in the generator matrix, stopping sets would occur and terminate the decoding. Thus, the recovery probability is reduced,high coding overhead is required and decoding delay is increased.These issues would be disadvantages while applying LT codes in underwater acoustic communication. Aimed at solving those issues, novel encoding/decoding algorithms are proposed. First,a doping and non-uniform selecting（DNS） encoding algorithm is proposed to solve the IC and the generation of short cycles problems. And this can reduce the probability of stopping sets occur during decoding. Second, a hybrid on the fly Gaussian elimination and belief propagation（OFG-BP） decoding algorithm is designed to reduce the decoding delay and efficiently utilize the information of stopping sets. Comparisons via Monte Carlo simulation confirm that the proposed schemes could achieve better overall decoding performances in comparison with conventional schemes.

Encoding-decoding message for secure communication based on adaptive chaos synchronization

In this paper, based on an adaptive chaos synchronization scheme, two methods of encoding-decoding message for secure communication are proposed. With the first method, message is directly added to the chaotic signal with parameter uncertainty. In the second method, multi-parameter modulation is used to simultaneously transmit more than one digital message （i.e., the multichannel digital communication） through just a single signal, which switches among various chaotic attractors that differ only subtly. In theory, such a treatment increases the difficulty for the intruder to directly intercept the information, and meanwhile the implementation cost decreases significantly. In addition, numerical results show the methods are robust against weak noise, which implies their practicability.

Improved encoding structure and decoding algorithms for spinal codes

To improve the error correction performance, an innovative encoding structure with tail-biting for spinal codes is designed. Furthermore, an adaptive forward stack decoding(A-FSD) algorithm with lower complexity for spinal codes is proposed. In the A-FSD algorithm, a flexible threshold parameter is set by a variable channel state to narrow the scale of nodes accessed. On this basis, a new decoding method of AFSD with early termination(AFSD-ET) is further proposed. The AFSD-ET decoder not only has the ability of dynamically modifying the number of stored nodes, but also adopts the early termination criterion to curtail complexity. The complexity and related parameters are verified through a series of simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed spinal codes with tail-biting and the AFSD-ET decoding algorithms can reduce the complexity and improve the decoding rate without sacrificing correct decoding performance.

THE UNIFICATION OF DIFFERENTIAL ENCODING AND DECODING ALGORITHM FOR VARIOUS SIGNALS

Many monographs point out that differential encoding and decoding is necessary for ef- fectual information transmission against phase ambiguity while seldom discuss the reason why phase ambiguity will emerge inevitably.Available algorithms are specially designed for certain modulation scheme;these algorithms cannot satisfy the requirement of soft-defined radio,which perhaps demands a uniform algorithm for different modulations.This paper proposes a new opinion on phase ambiguity from the view of probability.This opinion believes that modulating symbol sequence can affect,at optimum sampling epoch,the modulated waveform as oscillating carrier has done,and so the stochastic sequence leads to phase ambiguity.Based on a general signal model,this paper also puts forward a novel universal algorithm,which is suitable for different signals,even some new ones,by configuring several parameters.

航迹预测在确保空中交通安全、高效运行中扮演着至关重要的角色。所预测的航迹信息是航迹优化、冲突告警等决策工具的输入,而预测准确性取决于模型对航迹序列特征的提取能力。航迹序列数据是具有丰富时空特征的多维时间序列,其中每个变量都呈现出长短期的时间变化模式,并且这些变量之间还存在着相互依赖的空间信息。为了充分提取这种时空特征,本文提出了基于融合时空特征的编码器-解码器(Spatio-Temporal EncoderDecoder,STED)航迹预测模型。在Encoder中使用门控循环单元(Gated Recurrent Unit,GRU)、卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Network,CNN)和注意力机制(Attention,AT)构成的双通道网络来分别提取航迹时空特征,Decoder对时空特征进行拼接融合,并利用GRU对融合特征进行学习和递归输出,实现对未来多步航迹信息的预测。利用真实的航迹数据对算法性能进行验证,实验结果表明,所提STED网络模型能够在未来10 min预测范围内进行高精度的短期航迹预测,相比于LSTM、CNN-LSTM和AT-LSTM等数据驱动航迹预测模型具有更高的精度。此外,STED网络模型预测一个航迹点平均耗时为0.002 s,具有良好的实时性。

利用Encoder-Decoder框架的深度学习网络实现绕射波分离及成像

利用单纯绕射波场实现地下地质异常体的识别具有坚实的理论基础,对应的实施方法得到了广泛研究,且有效地应用于实际勘探。但现有技术在微小尺度异常体成像方面收效甚微,相关研究多数以射线传播理论为基础,对于影响绕射波分离成像精度的因素分析并不完备。相较于反射波,由于存在不连续构造而产生的绕射波能量微弱并且相互干涉,同时环境干扰使得绕射波进一步湮没。因此,更高精度的波场分离及单独成像是现阶段基于绕射波超高分辨率处理、解释的重点研究方向。为此,首先针对地球物理勘探中地质异常体的准确定位,以携带高分辨率信息的绕射波为研究对象,系统分析在不同尺度、不同物性参数的异常体情况下绕射波的能量大小及形态特征,掌握绕射波与其他类型波叠加的具体形式;然后根据相应特征性质提出基于深度学习技术的绕射波分离成像方法,即利用Encoder-Decoder框架的空洞卷积网络捕获绕射波场特征,从而实现绕射波分离,基于速度连续性原则构建单纯绕射波场的偏移速度模型并完成最终成像。数据测试表明,该方法最终可满足微小地质异常体高精度识别的需求。

A Video Captioning Method by Semantic Topic-Guided Generation

In the video captioning methods based on an encoder-decoder,limited visual features are extracted by an encoder,and a natural sentence of the video content is generated using a decoder.However,this kind ofmethod is dependent on a single video input source and few visual labels,and there is a problem with semantic alignment between video contents and generated natural sentences,which are not suitable for accurately comprehending and describing the video contents.To address this issue,this paper proposes a video captioning method by semantic topic-guided generation.First,a 3D convolutional neural network is utilized to extract the spatiotemporal features of videos during the encoding.Then,the semantic topics of video data are extracted using the visual labels retrieved from similar video data.In the decoding,a decoder is constructed by combining a novel Enhance-TopK sampling algorithm with a Generative Pre-trained Transformer-2 deep neural network,which decreases the influence of“deviation”in the semantic mapping process between videos and texts by jointly decoding a baseline and semantic topics of video contents.During this process,the designed Enhance-TopK sampling algorithm can alleviate a long-tail problem by dynamically adjusting the probability distribution of the predicted words.Finally,the experiments are conducted on two publicly used Microsoft Research Video Description andMicrosoft Research-Video to Text datasets.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-art approaches.Specifically,the performance indicators Bilingual Evaluation Understudy,Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit Ordering,Recall Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation-longest common subsequence,and Consensus-based Image Description Evaluation of the proposed method are improved by 1.2%,0.1%,0.3%,and 2.4% on the Microsoft Research Video Description dataset,and 0.1%,1.0%,0.1%,and 2.8% on the Microsoft Research-Video to Text dataset,respectively,compared with the existing video captioning methods.As a result,the proposed method can generate video captioning that is more closely aligned with human natural language expression habits.
