Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a promising technique to increase spectral efficiency and support various emerging applications by sharing the spectrum and hardware between these functionalities. However, the traditional ISAC schemes are highly dependent on the accurate mathematical model and suffer from the challenges of high complexity and poor performance in practical scenarios. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a viable technique to address these issues due to its powerful learning capabilities, satisfactory generalization capability, fast inference speed, and high adaptability for dynamic environments, facilitating a system design shift from model-driven to data-driven. Intelligent ISAC, which integrates AI into ISAC, has been a hot topic that has attracted many researchers to investigate. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of intelligent ISAC, including its motivation, typical applications, recent trends, and challenges. In particular, we first introduce the basic principle of ISAC, followed by its key techniques. Then, an overview of AI and a comparison between model-based and AI-based methods for ISAC are provided. Furthermore, the typical applications of AI in ISAC and the recent trends for AI-enabled ISAC are reviewed. Finally, the future research issues and challenges of intelligent ISAC are discussed.

Medical Image Analysis (MIA) is integral to healthcare, demanding advanced computational techniques for precise diagnostics and treatment planning. The demand for accurate and interpretable models is imperative in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. This paper explores the potential of Self-Supervised Learning (SSL), transfer learning and domain adaptation methods in MIA. The study comprehensively reviews SSL-based computational techniques in the context of medical imaging, highlighting their merits and limitations. In an empirical investigation, this study examines the lack of interpretable and explainable component selection in existing SSL approaches for MIA. Unlike prior studies that randomly select SSL components based on their performance on natural images, this paper focuses on identifying components based on the quality of learned representations through various clustering evaluation metrics. Various SSL techniques and backbone combinations were rigorously assessed on diverse medical image datasets. The results of this experiment provided insights into the performance and behavior of SSL methods, paving the way for an explainable and interpretable component selection mechanism for artificial intelligence models in medical imaging. The empirical study reveals the superior performance of BYOL (Bootstrap Your Own Latent) with resnet as the backbone, as indicated by various clustering evaluation metrics such as Silhouette Coefficient (0.6), Davies-Bouldin Index (0.67), and Calinski-Harabasz Index (36.9). The study also emphasizes the benefits of transferring weights from a model trained on a similar dataset instead of a dataset from a different domain. Results indicate that the proposed mechanism expedited convergence, achieving 98.66% training accuracy and 92.48% testing accuracy in 23 epochs, requiring almost half the number of epochs for similar results with ImageNet weights. This research contributes to advancing the understanding of SSL in MIA, providin

Video question answering(VideoQA) is a challenging yet important task that requires a joint understanding of low-level video content and high-level textual semantics. Despite the promising progress of existing efforts, recent studies revealed that current VideoQA models mostly tend to over-rely on the superficial correlations rooted in the dataset bias while overlooking the key video content, thus leading to unreliable results. Effectively understanding and modeling the temporal and semantic characteristics of a given video for robust VideoQA is crucial but, to our knowledge, has not been well investigated. To fill the research gap, we propose a robust VideoQA framework that can effectively model the cross-modality fusion and enforce the model to focus on the temporal and global content of videos when making a QA decision instead of exploiting the shortcuts in datasets. Specifically, we design a self-supervised contrastive learning objective to contrast the positive and negative pairs of multimodal input, where the fused representation of the original multimodal input is enforced to be closer to that of the intervened input based on video perturbation. We expect the fused representation to focus more on the global context of videos rather than some static keyframes. Moreover, we introduce an effective temporal order regularization to enforce the inherent sequential structure of videos for video representation. We also design a Kullback-Leibler divergence-based perturbation invariance regularization of the predicted answer distribution to improve the robustness of the model against temporal content perturbation of videos. Our method is model-agnostic and can be easily compatible with various VideoQA backbones. Extensive experimental results and analyses on several public datasets show the advantage of our method over the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both accuracy and robustness.
