Foundation Models for Generalizable Semantic and Goal-Oriented Communication

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 7, 2026 · UTC

Semantic and goal-oriented communication is increasingly studied for 6G, but generalization beyond seen data remains a key weakness under tight rate budgets. Many existing systems overfit their training data and degrade sharply at very low bit rates because they attempt to compress the entire signal. We introduce Foundation Model-Guided Semantic and Goal-Oriented Communication (FMSGOC), a framework that uses broad visual-linguistic Foundation Model priors to mitigate overfitting. It further improves rate efficiency by concentrating bits on sparse, goal-aligned anchors and relying on generative
