Cooperative multi-task semantic communication (CMT-SemCom) improves task execution performance by leveraging shared representations. However, as we demonstrated in [1], cooperative multi-tasking can be either constructive or destructive, depending on the semantic relationships among tasks. To ensure constructive cooperation, we propose a semantic-aware task clustering method for CMT-SemCom. We have formulated a sequential multi-stage optimization problem in which semantically aligned tasks are clustered once after a short initial training phase, and then end-to-end (E2E) joint training is conducted exclusively within the discovered groups. Specifically, the problem decomposes into two stages: (i) a semantic clustering problem leveraging hierarchical density-based spatial clustering, and (ii) an intra-cluster E2E CMT-SemCom learning problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively mitigates destructive cooperation and negative transfer, yielding accuracy gains compared to unclustered multi-tasking and individual training baselines.
Semantic communication (SemCom) aims to preserve semantic meaning and task-oriented information beyond conventional message recovery over wireless channels. The adoption of SemCom in shared-access wireless networks introduces new vulnerabilities for multi-user semantic inference.…
Semantic communication (SemCom) has emerged as a promising paradigm in which the transmission of task-relevant information is prioritized over raw data, enabling efficient and robust communication under resource and channel constraints. In this paper, the privacy implications of…
We consider the problem of constructing a $K$-class classifier from the combination of $O(\log K)$ simple binary classifiers -- this is a natural paradigm to construct a sophisticated classifier in a distributed manner with each agent performing a relatively straightforward task.…
The informativeness of a training set is as consequential as its size, yet most sampling strategies remain agnostic to the intrinsic geometry of the data distribution. We introduce CuBAS (Curvature-Based Adaptive Sampling), an information-geometric framework for adaptive data sel…
Multi-object detection and tracking from noisy point clouds remain challenging in many data-scarce radar applications. Current Bayesian trackers based on Poisson measurement models offer a training-free solution but struggle to achieve accuracy and efficiency under severe clutter…
Angular radio maps describe the received-power distribution over the angle of arrival and underpin beam selection and receiver localization in sixth-generation (6G) networks. Predicting the angular power spectrum (APS) from geometry is difficult, because the mapping is ill-posed…
