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.

A single-channel dereverberation method with low computational complexity is proposed. We introduce the complementary Wiener filter which can suppress a late reverberation during silence intervals via theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. An implementation represents reductions both of memory consumption and operative calculations compared to a conventional method; each reduction is almost by half. Dereverberation performance is evaluated by an experimental simulation using speech signals and measured room impulse responses. The performance under several hundreds of msec of the reverberation time is similar to the conventional method: 6 [dB] reverberation reduction and 3 [dB] improvement of target-to-interference ratio.

As research and development related to the practical use of autonomous driving systems (ADS) continue to advance, one of the remaining challenges is achieving both safe and natural autonomous driving. In part, this is due to the difficulty of achieving flawless, automated perception and understanding of the driving environment. In our previous study, we proposed a recognition assistance interface to solve this problem by sharing ADS recognition information with the passenger, allowing them to assist in the recognition stage of the autonomous driving process. In this study, we incorporate our recognition assistance interface into Autoware and test it in a simulated driving environment, using scenarios in which the ADS must recognize the intent of pedestrians and respond to the presence of trash in the road. Natural driving was dened as driving that avoids significant, unnecessary deceleration when performing these challenging recognition tasks. The results of our experiment with 11 participants showed that sharing recognition information with passengers is effective for avoiding unnecessary deceleration and achieving only minor variations in speed when encountering obstacles flagged in error by the recognition system.
