Modeling for flavor profiles
A method, computer program product, and system for generating flavor profile models are provided. An alpha flavor model is determined. An electrode signal is transmitted to a taste simulator based on the alpha flavor model. User feedback is received. A variance between the alpha flavor model and the user feedback is determined. The variance is compared to a predetermined threshold. In response to determining that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, a beta flavor model is generated.
1. A method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, an alpha model for a user taste profile;
transmitting, by one or more processors, an electrode signal, corresponding to a taste profile, to a taste simulator, based on the alpha model;
releasing, by one or more processors, at least one chemical that replicates a scent of the taste profile, based on the alpha model;
receiving, by one or more processors, a user feedback on the taste profile introduced through the electrode signal and the at least one first chemical;
determining, by one or more processors, a variance between the alpha model and the user feedback;
comparing, by one or more processors, the variance to a predetermined threshold;
in response to a determination that the variance is greater than the predetermined threshold, generating, by one or more processors, a beta model for the user taste profile;
transmitting, by one or more processors, a second electrode signal to the taste simulator in combination with a release of at least one second chemical, wherein the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical correspond to a taste profile of a food dish, based on the user taste profile; and
receiving, by one or more processors, a second set of user feedback on the taste profile of the food dish introduced through the second electrode signal and the at least one second chemical.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the alpha model and the beta model are based, at least in part, on a taste vector, a health vector, and a weight vector.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the taste simulator delivers electric stimulation to a tongue of a user such that the taste profile is simulated for the user.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the taste vector comprises values for one or more of the tastes of sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the health vector comprises values for one or more of calories, cholesterol, metabolic rate, and fat content.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alpha model is based, at least in part, on a data from one or more users in a computing social network.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by one or more processors, a food recommendation, based on the beta model, wherein the food recommendation is one or more of a restaurant recommendation, a chef recommendation, and a recipe recommendation.
