NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Edamam , a leading B2B provider of food and nutrition data worked closely with a team of researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Institute of South Carolina to build an AI-driven personalized meal recommender. Dr. Amit Sheth, who is NCR chair and Professor at AIISC , is an advisor to Edamam.
The project, dubbed Nourich, has culminated in building a NeuroSymbolic, custom, compact diet AI model. Specifically, the Nourich model is tailored to analyze and reason over the suitability of a recipe for Type 2 diabetes and provide alternative recipes or ingredients, as well as cooking action substitutions to truly personalize the diet recommendation experience for people living with the disease.
“The research done by the AIISC team aligns directly with Edamam's goals to help people everywhere make the right food choices and live healthy lives. It was a natural expansion of our business to partner with this top-notch research team,” commented Victor Penev, Edamam's CEO and Founder.
To help support the Nourich project, Edamam provided a dataset of 2.3 million recipes with full diet and nutrient information including all macro and micronutrients and 40+ diet labels encompassing all allergens and most lifestyle diets, such as vegan, kosher, paleo.
“Nourich leverages Edamam's rich semantic information to analyze a given recipe's suitability for diabetes and facilitate constraint-based ingredient substitution,” explained Revathy Venkataramanan, the Nourich project's lead researcher.
The Nourich project team aims to find commercial applications. To that effect, it created a right-sized and cost-effective model that can be retrained on-demand, optimized for real-time deployment, and compactly run on consumer-grade hardware devices. The neurosymbolic approach allows for higher accuracy vis-à-vis Generative AI solutions and leverages diverse high-quality, curated data, domain specific knowledge, and human expertise, to design an explainable food recommendation co-pilot agent.
