• Abstract: Cross-modal recipe retrieval has recently gained substantial attention due to the importance of food in people's lives, as well as the availability of vast amounts of digital cooking recipes and food images to train machine learning models. In this work, we revisit existing approaches for cross-modal recipe retrieval and propose a simplified end-to-end model based on well established and high performing encoders for text and images. We introduce a hierarchical recipe Transformer which attentively encodes individual recipe components (titles, ingredients and instructions). Further, we propose a self-supervised loss function computed on top of pairs of individual recipe components, which is able to leverage semantic relationships within recipes, and enables training using both image-recipe and recipe-only samples. We conduct a thorough analysis and ablation studies to validate our design choices. As a result, our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in the cross-modal recipe retrieval task on the Recipe1M dataset. We make code and models publicly available.

  We propose a retrieval augmented large multimodal model for recipe generation. It retrieves recipes semantically related to the image from an existing datastore as a supplement. It calculates the consistency among generated recipe candidates, which use different retrieval recipes as context for generation.

  We propose a simple yet novel architecture for shared subspace learning, which is used to tackle the food image-to-recipe retrieval problem. Experimental analysis on the public Recipe1M dataset shows that the subspace learned via the proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the-arts. In order to demonstrate the representational power of the learned subspace, we propose a generative food image synthesis model conditioned on the embeddings of recipes.

Our approach includes two novel ideas: (i) learning the recipe structures with the global structure prediction component and (ii) producing recipe phases in the sub-generator output component based on the predicted structure.

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.
