Distributed Information Bottleneck Theory for Multi-Modal Task-Aware Semantic Communication
This work proposes a novel task-aware distributed information bottleneck (TADIB) framework, which quantifies the contribution of any set of modalities to given tasks, and designs a practical coding scheme that intelligently selects and compresses only the most task-relevant modalities at the transmitter.
