Artificial Intelligence: AI reveals the secret to taste
An artificial intelligence (AI) that learns
ingredients in ingredients and creates new food recipes by composing
combinations has been developed.
Kang Jae-woo, a professor of computer science
at Korea University, announced on the 29th that, in collaboration with Sony AI,
a subsidiary of Sony, a Japanese electronics company, the research team
developed an AI that recommends the optimal combination of ingredients by using
the characteristics of chemical ingredients in ingredients and big data from
market recipes.
This is the flavor graph developed by the research team. It connects ingredients by combining chemical molecular information and recipes. Provided by Korea University
Artificial Intelligence: The 'Flavor Graph'
The research team developed the 'Flavor
Graph', a graph that integrates the relationship between 1561 chemical
molecular information and ingredients analyzed from 1 million recipes for AI
learning. AI can predict the relationship between chemical molecules and
food and create creative recipe combinations. Previously, the research
team developed an AI that analyzes ingredient combinations using only recipes,
but it became possible to recommend combinations that were not in existing
recipes by including chemical information.
AI finds ingredients that can be newly connected by linking the chemical composition and flavor of ingredients. by Sony
Sony AI requested joint research after seeing
that research professor Dong-hyun Park of the Department of Computer Science,
Korea University, who led this research, disclosed 'Kitchennet', an AI model
for recommending ingredient combinations in 2019, at an international
conference, and this study was completed. Sony, well-known for its
PlayStation game consoles, established Sony AI in 2019 and included food as its
three main research areas in addition to games and image sensors, which are its
main industries. The goal is to develop an AI that recommends personal
nutrition and an assistant AI robot that helps cooks.
The research team plans to develop an AI model
that uses Sony AI and Flavor Graph to create new recipes that also consider
food flavor and nutrition. It is decided to establish a precision
nutrition program that recommends personalized recipes and diets that take into
account an individual's genetic characteristics, lifestyle, and health
condition.
The research results were published in the
international academic journal Scientific Reports in January.
