Semantic Leakage and Privacy Preservation in Relay-Assisted Semantic Communications
Yalin E. Sagduyu, Tugba Erpek, Aylin Yener +1
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 robu…
Wireless Backdoor Attack and Defense for Semantic Communications over Multiple Access Channel
Yalin E. Sagduyu, Tugba Erpek, Aylin Yener +1
Semantic communication (SemCom) aims to preserve semantic meaning and task-oriented information beyond conventional message recovery over wireless channels. The adoption of SemCom…
When Semantic Communication Meets Queueing: Cross-Layer Latency and Task Fidelity Optimization
Yalin E. Sagduyu, Tugba Erpek
Semantic communication (SemCom) with learned encoder-decoder architectures enables end-to-end learning of compact task-oriented representations optimized for the wireless channel,…
Privacy-Preserving Semantic Communications via Multi-Task Learning and Adversarial Perturbations
Yalin E. Sagduyu, Tugba Erpek, Aylin Yener +1
Semantic communications conveys task-relevant meaning rather than focusing solely on message reconstruction, improving bandwidth efficiency and robustness for next-generation wirel…
Coordinated Anti-Jamming Resilience in Swarm Networks via Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Bahman Abolhassani, Tugba Erpek, Kemal Davaslioglu +2
Reactive jammers pose a severe security threat to robotic-swarm networks by selectively disrupting inter-agent communications and undermining formation integrity and mission succes…
Targeted Attacks and Defenses for Distributed Federated Learning in Vehicular Networks
Utku Demir, Tugba Erpek, Yalin E. Sagduyu +2
In emerging networked systems, mobile edge devices such as ground vehicles and unmanned aerial system (UAS) swarms collectively aggregate vast amounts of data to make machine learn…
