Knowledge Enhanced Semantic Communication Receiver
share
In recent years, with the rapid development of deep learning and natural language processing technologies, semantic communication has become a topic of great interest in the field of communication. Although existing deep learning based semantic communication approaches have shown many advantages, they still do not make sufficient use of prior knowledge. Moreover, most existing semantic communication methods focus on the semantic encoding at the transmitter side, while we believe that the semantic decoding capability of the receiver side should also be concerned. In this paper, we propose a knowledge enhanced semantic communication framework in which the receiver can more actively utilize the prior knowledge in the knowledge base for semantic reasoning and decoding, without extra modifications to the neural network structure of the transmitter. Specifically, we design a transformer-based knowledge extractor to find relevant factual triples for the received noisy signal. Extensive simulation results on the WebNLG dataset demonstrate that the proposed receiver yields superior performance on top of the knowledge graph enhanced decoding.
