Abstract
Semantic communication, by the extraction of essential semantic information from source data, reduces data volume and enhances transmission efficiency, making it increasingly popular among candidate technologies in 6G. In this letter, a covert transmission scheme for text semantic communications is proposed, where a transmitter attempts to send text semantic information to a legitimate receiver under the surveillance of a warden, while the receiver emits artificial noise (AN) to interfere the warden. To maximize semantic spectral efficiency, we formulate an optimization problem while considering constraints on covertness, the minimum semantic similarity, and the number of semantic symbols mapped per word K. We derive the closed-form expressions for the optimal transmit power and AN power when K is fixed, and employ a one-dimension searching method to find the optimal <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K^{*}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Numerical results demonstrate that fixed AN power can contribute to covert transmission and in the semantic model, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K^{*}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the minimum allowable K.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
