Building a Modal-balanced BlockChain with Semantic Reconstruction
share
The current large blockchain systems (BTC Lightning network, Ethereum, etc.) are generally facing the problems of low persistence rates and high storage costs. Therefore, users tend to store single modal (textual) information on the existing blockchain systems. Inspired by semantic communication algorithms, this paper presents a new algorithm to solve the serious imbalance between textual and visual modals on blockchains. After semantic sampling of the original visual image, the resulting semantic text will be stored on the chain, and the end users can reconstruct a semantically similar image using the Relative Optimal Semantic Isotope Selection algorithm. Experiments on the DIV2K dataset show that the blockchain with our algorithm can achieve 430,000 times the storage capacity and 550,000 times the persistence rate for the original visual data with acceptable semantic information loss.
