Challenge: Existing resources, such as RecipeNLG, extract food items only from ingredient lists, overlooking entities expressed in instructions, such tools, chef actions, food and tool states, and durations.
Approach: They extend RecipeNLG to extract 97 million entities from 2.2 million recipes.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms existing models trained on ingredient-list data on both automatic and human evaluations.

Assistive Recipe Editing through Critiquing (2023.eacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods for generating recipes that satisfy dietary restrictions are inconsistent or incoherent and paired datasets are not available at scale.
Approach: They propose to build a hierarchical denoising auto-encoder that edits recipes given ingredient-level critiques by interacting with the predicted ingredients.
Outcome: The proposed model can more effectively edit recipes compared to strong language models and iteratively rewrites recipes to satisfy user feedback.

Outcome: The proposed methods achieve 71.1 to 87.5 F1 in the cooking domain and a flow graph achieves similarity to those used in Japanese recipes.
SHARE: a System for Hierarchical Assistive Recipe Editing (2022.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing recipe websites do not provide options for users with dietary restrictions . a growing population follows some form of dietary restriction, with many people following it for a variety of reasons .
Approach: They propose a system for hierarchical assistive recipe editing that performs simultaneous ingredient substitution before generating natural-language steps using the edited ingredients.
Outcome: The proposed system can adapt a recipe to satisfy a user-specified dietary constraint.
Generating Personalized Recipes from Historical User Preferences (D19-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods to recipe generation are unable to create recipes for users with culinary preferences but incomplete knowledge of ingredients in specific dishes.
Approach: They propose to expand a name and incomplete ingredient details into complete natural-text instructions aligned with the user’s historical preferences.
Outcome: The proposed model generates plausible recipes from user-aware representations of recipes from 180K recipes and 700K interactions.
Recipe Instruction Semantics Corpus (RISeC): Resolving Semantic Structure and Zero Anaphora in Recipes (2020.aacl-main)

Challenge: Existing approaches to understanding recipe instructions make assumptions that are domain specific.
Approach: They propose a new dataset for information extraction on recipes . they avoid a priori pre-defining domain-specific predicates to recognize . instead, they focus on basic understanding of the expressed semantics .
Outcome: The proposed dataset avoids a priori pre-defining domain-specific predicates to recognize . instead, it focuses on basic understanding of the expressed semantics rather than reducing them to a simplified state representation.
