The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007 and 2012. The core objective of the EPOS2020 guideline is to provide revised, up-to-date and clear evidence-based recommendations and integrated care pathways in ARS and CRS. EPOS2020 provides an update on the literature published and studies undertaken in the eight years since the EPOS2012 position paper was published and addresses areas not extensively covered in EPOS2012 such as paediatric CRS and sinus surgery. EPOS2020 also involves new stakeholders, including pharmacists and patients, and addresses new target users who have become more involved in the management and treatment of rhinosinusitis since the publication of the last EPOS document, including pharmacists, nurses, specialised care givers and indeed patients themselves, who employ increasing self-management of their condition using over the counter treatments. The document provides suggestions for future research in this area and offers updated guidance for definitions and outcome measurements in research in different settings. EPOS2020 contains chapters on definitions and classification where we have defined a large number of terms and indicated preferred terms. A new classification of CRS into primary and secondary CRS and further division into localized and diffuse disease, based on anatomic distribution is proposed. There are extensive chapters on epidemiology and predisposing factors, inflammatory mechanisms, (differential) diagnosis of facial pain, allergic rhinitis, genetics, cystic fibrosis, aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, immunodeficiencies, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and the relationship between upper and lower airways. The chapters on paediatric acute and chronic rhinosinusitis are totally rewritten. All available evidence for the management of acute rhinosinusitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps in adults and children is systematically reviewed and integrated care pathways based on the evidence are proposed. Despite considerable increases in the amount of quality publications in recent years, a large number of practical clinical questions remain. It was agreed that the best way to address these was to conduct a Delphi exercise . The results have been integrated into the respective sections. Last but not least, advice for patients and pharmacists and a new list of research needs are included.

European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020

Transfer learning aims at improving the performance of target learners on target domains by transferring the knowledge contained in different but related source domains. In this way, the dependence on a large number of target-domain data can be reduced for constructing target learners. Due to the wide application prospects, transfer learning has become a popular and promising area in machine learning. Although there are already some valuable and impressive surveys on transfer learning, these surveys introduce approaches in a relatively isolated way and lack the recent advances in transfer learning. Due to the rapid expansion of the transfer learning area, it is both necessary and challenging to comprehensively review the relevant studies. This survey attempts to connect and systematize the existing transfer learning research studies, as well as to summarize and interpret the mechanisms and the strategies of transfer learning in a comprehensive way, which may help readers have a better understanding of the current research status and ideas. Unlike previous surveys, this survey article reviews more than 40 representative transfer learning approaches, especially homogeneous transfer learning approaches, from the perspectives of data and model. The applications of transfer learning are also briefly introduced. In order to show the performance of different transfer learning models, over 20 representative transfer learning models are used for experiments. The models are performed on three different data sets, that is, Amazon Reviews, Reuters-21578, and Office-31, and the experimental results demonstrate the importance of selecting appropriate transfer learning models for different applications in practice.

Independent Component Analysis.

This study proposes a method to extract the unique driving signatures of individual drivers We assume that each driver has a unique driving signature that can be represented in a k dimensional principal driving component (PDC) space We propose a method to extract this signature from sensor data Furthermore, we suggest that drivers with similar driving signatures can be categorized into driving style classes such as aggressive or careful driving In our experiments, 122 different drivers have driven the same path on Nagoya city express highway with the same instrumented car GPS, speed, acceleration, steering wheel position and pedal operations have been recorded Clustering methods have been used to identify driving signatures

Driving Signature Extraction

An approach which would allow us to better understand behavioral states inherent in observed behaviors is proposed, based on the development of a mathematical representation of driving behaviors signals using our large driving behavior signal corpus. In particular, the project is aimed at developing technologies for preventing excessive trust in users of automated systems. Misuse/disuse of automation is introduced as a cognitive model of excessive trust, and methods of quantitative measurement are devised. PWARX and GMM models are proposed to represent discrete and continuous information in the cognition/decision/action process. We also develop a method of modeling visual behavior aiming at understanding environmental awareness while driving. We showed the effectiveness of the model experimentally through risky lane change detection. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the method to quantify excessive trust based on developed technology.

Modeling and Detecting Excessive Trust from Behavior Signals: Overview of Research Project and Results

In this paper, we present a multi-domain spoken dialogue system equipped with the capability of parallel computation of speech-recognition engines that are assigned to each domain. The experimental system is set up to handle three different domains (restaurant information, weather report, and news query) in an in-car usage. All of these tasks are of information retrieval nature. The domain of a particular utterance is determined based on the likelihood of each speech recognizer. In addition to the human-machine interaction, synthesized voice of the route sub-system interrupts the dialogue frequently. Experimental evaluation has yielded 95 percent recognition accuracy in selecting the task domain based on a specially designed scoring method.

Behavioral and semantic relationships play a vital role on intelligent self-driving vehicles and ADAS systems. Different from other research focused on trajectory, position, and bounding boxes, relationship data provides a human understandable description of the object's behavior, and it could describe an object's past and future status in an amazingly brief way. Therefore it is a fundamental method for tasks such as risk detection, environment understanding, and decision making. In this paper, we propose RSG-Net (Road Scene Graph Net): a graph convolutional network designed to predict potential semantic relationships from object proposals, and to produce a graph-structured result, called “Road Scene Graph”. The experimental results indicate that this network, trained on Road Scene Graph dataset, could efficiently predict potential semantic relationships among objects around the ego-vehicle.

This paper proposes a discrimination method for hierarchical relationsbetween word pairs. The method is a statistical one using an encyclopedic corpus' extracted and organized from Web pages.In the proposed method, we use the statistical naturethat hyponyms' descriptionstend to include hypernyms whereas hypernyms' descriptions do notinclude all of the hyponyms.Experimental results show that the method detected 61.7% of therelations in an actual thesaurus.
