• Abstract: The web is full of guidance on a wide variety of tasks, from changing the oil in your car to baking an apple pie. However, as content is created independently, a single task could have thousands of corresponding procedural texts. This makes it difficult for users to view the bigger picture and understand the multiple ways the task could be accomplished. In this work we propose an unsupervised learning approach for summarizing multiple procedural texts into an intuitive graph representation, allowing users to easily explore commonalities and differences. We demonstrate our approach on recipes, a prominent example of procedural texts. User studies show that our representation is intuitive and coherent and that it has the potential to help users with several sensemaking tasks, including adapting recipes for a novice cook and finding creative ways to spice up a dish.

  We focus on recipes as an example of complex, diverse, and widely used instructions. We develop a prompt grounded in the original recipe and ingredients list that breaks recipes down into simpler steps. We also contribute an Amazon Mechanical Turk task that is carefully designed to reduce fatigue while collecting human judgment of the quality of recipe revisions.

  We propose to represent cooking recipes and food images as cooking programs. A model is trained to learn a joint embedding between recipes and food images via self-supervision. We show that projecting the image-recipe embeddings into programs leads to better cross-modal retrieval results.

  In this work, we excavate the implicit task, character counting within the traditional text recognition, without additional labor annotation cost. We design a two-branch reciprocal feature learning framework in order to adequately utilize the features from both the tasks. Experiments on 7 benchmarks show the advantages of the proposed methods in both text recognition and the new-built character counting tasks.

  Cross-modal recipe retrieval has recently gained substantial attention due to the importance of food in people's lives. We propose a simplified end-to-end model based on well established and high performing encoders for text and images. Our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in the cross-modal recipe retrieval task on the Recipe1M dataset.

  We introduce a novel cross-modal learning framework to jointly model the latent representations of images and text in the food image-recipe association and retrieval tasks. Our experiments show that by making use of efficient tree-structured Long Short-Term Memory as the text encoder in our computational cross-modal retrieval framework, we are able to identify the main ingredients and cooking actions in the recipe descriptions without explicit supervision.

We then use a graph algorithm to derive a joint alignment between multiple text and multiple video recipes for the same dish.
