Can computing reinvent food? It already has.
IBM’s Cognitive Cooking project scanned millions of recipes, chemical compositions and taste profiles of ingredients, extracted the information and analyzed the connections among recipes, ingredients and psychophysical aspects of flavor perception.
Cognitive Cooking has so far yielded a food truck featuring Chef Watson’s own recipes, an app and a book.
During Flavorcon 2015, IBM Fellow and Research Lead Krishna Ratakonda will discuss the role of big data in boosting creativity, while offering examples of Chef Watson’s innovations and commercial applications in the flavor and fragrance industry.
