To alleviate these challenges, a deep learning (DL)-enabled semantic communication (SemCom) has emerged as a promising 6G technology enabler, which embodies a paradigm shift that can change the status quo viewpoint that wireless connectivity is an opaque data pipe carrying messages whose context-dependent meanings have been ignored. Since 6G is also critical for the materialization of major SemCom use cases, the paradigms of 6G for SemCom and SemCom for 6G call for a tighter integration of 6G and SemCom. For this purpose, this comprehensive article provides the fundamentals of semantic information, semantic representation, and semantic entropy; details the state-of-the-art SemCom research landscape; presents the major SemCom trends and use cases; discusses current SemCom theories; exposes the fundamental and major challenges of SemCom; and offers future research directions for SemCom. We hope this article stimulates many lines of research on SemCom theories, algorithms, and implementation.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 11","pages":"1649-1685"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With consensus algorithms and smart contracts grounded in cryptographic technologies, Web 3.0 enables secure and transparent digital services, such as digital identity, asset management, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and decentralized finance (DeFi), fostering integration between digital and physical economies. As quantum devices rapidly advance, Web 3.0 is being developed in parallel with the deployment of quantum cloud computing and quantum Internet. In this regard, quantum computing first disrupts the original cryptographic systems that protect data security while reshaping modern cryptography with enhanced quantum computing and communication capabilities. This article provides a comprehensive overview of blockchain-based Web 3.0, examining its quantum and postquantum advancements from two key perspectives. On the one hand, postquantum migration methods and quantum-resistant signatures offer robust solutions to safeguard blockchain against quantum threats. On the other hand, quantum and postquantum encryption and verification algorithms boost blockchain performance, creating a decentralized, secure, and value-driven system. Additionally, we outline potential applications of quantum blockchain and offer guidance for implementation within the Web 3.0 ecosystem. Finally, we discuss future directions for developing a provably secure and decentralized digital ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 11","pages":"1686-1715"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, cross-modal retrieval has emerged, enabling interaction across modalities, facilitating semantic matching, and leveraging complementarity and consistency between heterogeneous data. Although prior literature has reviewed the field of cross-modal retrieval, it suffers from numerous deficiencies in terms of timeliness, taxonomy, and comprehensiveness. This article conducts a comprehensive review of cross-modal retrieval’s evolution, spanning from shallow statistical analysis techniques to vision-language pretraining (VLP) models. Commencing with a comprehensive taxonomy grounded in machine learning paradigms, mechanisms, and models, this article delves deeply into the principles and architectures underpinning existing cross-modal retrieval methods. Furthermore, it offers an overview of widely used benchmarks, metrics, and performances. Lastly, this article probes the prospects and challenges that confront contemporary cross-modal retrieval, while engaging in a discourse on potential directions for further progress in the field. To facilitate the ongoing research on cross-modal retrieval, we develop a user-friendly toolbox and an open-source repository at <uri>https://cross-modal-retrieval.github.io</uri>.","PeriodicalId":20556,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE","volume":"112 11","pages":"1716-1754"},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
