Semantic communication, regarded as the breakthrough beyond the Shannon paradigm, aims at the successful transmission of semantic information conveyed by the source rather than the accurate reception of each single symbol or bit regardless of its meaning. This article provides an overview on semantic communications. After a brief review of Shannon information theory, we discuss semantic communications with theory, framework, and system design enabled by deep learning. Different from the symbol/bit error rate used for measuring conventional communication systems, performance metrics for semantic communications are also discussed. The article concludes with several open questions in semantic communications.

Quantum Semantic Communication Beyond the Shannon-Wyner Channel Capacity
A quantum secure direct link carrying compressed neural codes for 3D point clouds reports 'equivalent data rates' above the channel's secrecy capacity, but only because reconstructed bits are counted as if transmitted.
