Ask AI what goes with chicken and the answer depends on whether it learned from recipes or molecules
Quick Take
Kaikaku.AI's 'Epicure' features three AI models that differentiate between recipe-based and chemistry-based ingredient pairings. Trained on 4.14 million recipes and FlavorDB, the chemistry model excels in taste classification and nutritional values, outperforming recipe-based models despite lacking direct exposure to such data.
Key Points
- Epicure's models trained on 4.14 million recipes in seven languages.
- Chemistry-based model outperforms recipe-based models in taste classification.
- FlavorDB flavor database enhances ingredient pairing accuracy.
- AI models provide distinct recommendations based on training data type.
- Kaikaku.AI aims to innovate culinary AI applications.
Article Excerpt
From source RSS / original summaryWith "Epicure," London-based startup Kaikaku. AI presents three AI models that are the first to clearly separate whether an ingredient fits a recipe or is chemically related. Trained on 4. 14 million recipes in seven languages and the FlavorDB flavor database, each variant returns different recommendations. The purely chemistry-based model even classifies taste and nutritional values better than the recipe-based alternatives, despite never seeing that information directly.
