• Title: Hybrid consistency and plausibility verification of product data according to FIC
• Authors: Christian Schorr
• Abstract summary: The labelling of food products in the EU is regulated by the Food Information of Customers (FIC) We propose a hybrid approach of both rule-based and machine learning to verify nutrient declaration and allergen labelling according to FIC requirements. Results show that a neural net trained on a subset of the ingredients of a product is capable of predicting the allergens contained with a high reliability.

• Abstract: The labelling of food products in the EU is regulated by the Food Information of Customers (FIC). Companies are required to provide the corresponding information regarding nutrients and allergens among others. With the rise of e-commerce more and more food products are sold online. There are often errors in the online product descriptions regarding the FIC-relevant information due to low data quality in the vendors' product data base. In this paper we propose a hybrid approach of both rule-based and machine learning to verify nutrient declaration and allergen labelling according to FIC requirements. Special focus is given to the problem of false negatives in allergen prediction since this poses a significant health risk to customers. Results show that a neural net trained on a subset of the ingredients of a product is capable of predicting the allergens contained with a high reliability.

Addressing the lack of specific datasets for food-based salt content inquiries, we develop a template-based conversational dataset. Our findings indicate that while fine-tuning transformer-based models on the dataset yields limited performance, the integration of Neuro-Symbolic Rules significantly enhances the system's performance.

  We introduce an open-source simulated digital marketplace where intelligent agents, powered by language models, buy and sell information on behalf of external participants. The central mechanism enabling this marketplace is the agents' dual capabilities: they have the capacity to assess the quality of privileged information but also come equipped with the ability to forget. To perform well, agents must make rational decisions, strategically explore the marketplace through generated sub-queries, and synthesize answers from purchased information.

  Accurate dietary intake estimation is critical for informing policies and programs to support healthy eating. Recent work has focused on using computer vision and machine learning to automatically estimate dietary intake from food images. We introduce NutritionVerse- Synth, the first large-scale dataset of 84,984 synthetic 2D food images with associated dietary information. We also collect a real image dataset, NutritionVerse-Real, containing 889 images of 251 dishes to evaluate realism.

  We propose a novel vision-language model, UMDFood-VL, using front-of-package labeling and product images to accurately estimate food composition profiles. Up to 82.2% of selected products' estimated error between chemical analysis results and model estimation results are less than 10%. This performance sheds light on generalization towards other food and nutrition-related data compilation and catalyzation.

We propose Semantic-Consistent and Attention-based Networks (SCAN), which regularize the embeddings of the two modalities through aligning output semantic probabilities. We show that we can outperform several state-of-the-art cross-modal retrieval strategies for food images and cooking recipes by a significant margin.
