In a preliminary study we observed that piglets suffering from chronic lung inflammation induced by an intravenous injection of complete Freund adjuvant showed a marked decrease in plasma tryptophan (Trp) concentration suggesting increased Trp utilisation. During the inflammatory process, a cytokine-induced enzyme called indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has been shown to catabolise Trp into ky...

We present here a characterization of the Clarke subdifferential optimal value function linear program as matrix coefficients. generalize result Freund (1985) to cases where derivatives may not be defined because existence multiple primal or dual solutions.

One of the earliest online learning games, now commonly known as the hedge setting [Freund and Schapire, 1997], goes as follows. On round t, a Learner chooses a distribution wt over a set of n actions, an Adversary reveals `t ∈ [0, 1], a vector of losses for each action, and the Learner suffers wt · `t = ∑n i=1 wt,i`t,i. Freund and Schapire [1997] showed that a very simple strategy of exponenti...
