Is it just me, or is this article really spammy and low-quality? It's full of buzzwords like "advanced knowledge in cutting-edge Machine Learning solutions" and "completely new paradigms for enhanced creativity". Meanwhile it has no technical details about what their model actually does or how it works. It basically reads like an ad.

(Also the model still needs help from human experts to fix its formulas, so the "better than professional humans" title that someone choose when posting to HN is a lie.)

Not just you. I found it kind of dodgy that OP uses a 3 hour old account that alludes to a different company, but if you click through two links you will realize they've stopped working at that company over a year ago, and now works at Visium, the company posting the blog post. I'm having trust issues when such a trivial thing requires lieing.

> In the video below... our CTO... present the project at the Applied Machine Learning Days (AMLD) at EPFL, one of the largest ML conferences in the world

Can anyone confirm this? Doesn't appear on this list of 400 https://research.com/conference-rankings/computer-science/ma...

Has so many buzzwords the eu will fund it any day now.

You're telling me policymakers don't read HackerNews?

I’d be very curious to see AI applied to food flavors.

The permutation space is so absurdly large, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were obvious combinations hiding under our noses.

I also like the idea of a professional robot chef that has vast database of flavors humans are most likely to enjoy.

Always feels like endless trial and error when I’m cooking something new.

Very much looking forward to the robot revolution.

I'm reminded of this paper[1] which uses Bayesian optimization techniques to optimize chocolate cookie recipes.

https://notco.com/ makes vegan alternatives to meat-based products, with an AI creating the recipes. Not exactly what you're looking for, but close enough I think.

This already exists and at least one group has established contracts with groups like P&G and has recipes being created and implemented.

This may explain why the latest detergent is so strongly perfumed you need to rinse multiple times. Well, AI and Covid.

Oh the latest stuff doesn't come off. Permanently ruined all my clothes.

Seems like clickbait as a digital nose has been continually a challenge to build effectively, that’s why we still use security dogs.

We use security dogs because they give very convenient false positives. "The dog told me to wallop on him, your honor."
