Knowledge graphs (KGs) organize relational facts in a form that supports machine reasoning across many domains. In decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) environments, such graphs can describe interactions among distributed devices and services. However, privacy constraints, intermittent communication, and incomplete observations can leave the resulting graphs sparse and incomplete. This sparsity weakens path availability and makes missing-fact inference difficult. Multi-hop reasoning can recover unobserved links through explicit reasoning paths, but conventional hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) approaches may explore inefficiently when only a few valid paths are available. This paper presents attentiON exploratIon of cluster relatioN (ONION), a framework for sparse KG reasoning. ONION introduces a cluster relation augmentation (CRA) module to add cluster relation cues to the action space, together with a relation-level attention (RLA) mechanism to emphasize relations that are relevant to the query. These components guide hierarchical exploration toward more informative paths. ONION is evaluated on four public sparse-KG benchmarks, and the results show competitive performance with the clearest gains on highly sparse datasets.

Motion deblurring is an ill-posed, challenging problem in image restoration due to non-uniform motion blurs. Although recent deep convolutional neural networks have made significant progress, many existing methods adopt multi-scale or multi-patch subnetworks that involve additional inter-subnetwork processing (e.g., feature alignment and fusion) across different scales or patches, leading to substantial computational cost. In this paper, we propose a novel fully-cascaded spatial-aware convolutional network (FSCNet) that effectively restores sharp images from blurry inputs while maintaining a favorable balance between restoration quality and computational efficiency. The proposed architecture consists of simple yet effective subnetworks connected through a fully-cascaded feature fusion (FCFF) module, enabling the exploitation of diverse and complementary features generated at each stage. In addition, we design a lightweight spatial-aware block (SAB), whose core component is a channel-weighted spatial attention (CWSA) module. The SAB is integrated into both the FCFF module and skip connections, enhancing feature fusion by enriching spatial detail representation. On the GoPro dataset, FSCNet achieves 33.01 dB PSNR and 0.962 SSIM, delivering comparable or higher accuracy than state-of-the-art methods such as HINet, while reducing model size by nearly 80%. Furthermore, when the GoPro-trained model is evaluated on three additional benchmark datasets (HIDE, REDS, and RealBlur), FSCNet attains the highest average PSNR (29.53 dB) and SSIM (0.903) among all compared methods. This consistent cross-dataset superiority highlights FSCNet’s strong generalization and robustness under diverse blur conditions, confirming that it achieves state-of-the-art performance with a favorable performance–complexity trade-off.

Traditional fuzzy clustering algorithms construct sample partition criteria solely based on similarity measures but lack an effective representation of prior membership information, which limits further improvements in clustering accuracy. To address this issue, this paper proposes a semi-supervised fuzzy clustering algorithm based on prior membership (SFCM-PM). The proposed algorithm introduces prior information entropy as a metric to quantify the divergence between partition membership and prior membership and incorporates this as an auxiliary partition criterion into the objective function. By jointly optimizing data similarity and consistency with prior knowledge during the clustering process, the algorithm achieves more accurate and reliable clustering results. The experimental results demonstrate that the SFCM-PM algorithm achieves significant performance improvements by incorporating a small number of prior membership samples across several standard and real-world datasets. It also performs outstandingly on datasets with unbalanced sample distributions.

Multimodal multiobjective optimization problems, characterized by multiple solutions mapping to identical objective vectors, are ubiquitous in real-world applications. Despite their prevalence, most existing multimodal multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MMOEAs) predominantly focus on identifying global Pareto sets, often overlooking the equally significant local Pareto sets. While some algorithms attempt to address local Pareto sets, their performance in the objective space remains suboptimal. The inherent challenge lies in the fact that a single strategy cannot effectively tackle problems with and without local Pareto fronts. This study proposes a novel approach that first detects the presence of local Pareto fronts using a neural network, thereby enabling adaptive adjustments to the algorithm’s selection strategy and search scope. Based on this detection mechanism, we design a microscale searching multimodal multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (MMOEA_MS). Through extensive experiments on twenty-two benchmark problems, MMOEA_MS demonstrates superior performance in identifying local Pareto fronts and outperforms existing algorithms in the objective space. This study highlights the effectiveness of MMOEA_MS in solving multimodal multiobjective optimization problems with diverse Pareto front characteristics, thereby addressing key limitations of current methodologies.
