• Abstract: In most retail stores, the number of days since initial processing is used as a proxy for estimating the freshness of perishable foods or freshness is assessed manually by an employee. While the former method can lead to wastage, as some fresh foods might get disposed after a fixed number of days, the latter can be time-consuming, expensive and impractical at scale. This project aims to propose a Machine Learning (ML) based approach that evaluates freshness of food based on live data. For the current scope, it only considers meat as a the subject of analysis and attempts to classify pieces of meat as fresh, half-fresh or spoiled. Finally the model achieved an accuracy of above 90% and relatively high performance in terms of the cost of misclassification. It is expected that the technology will contribute to the optimization of the client's business operation, reducing the risk of selling defective or rotten products that can entail serious monetary, non-monetary and health-based consequences while also achieving higher corporate value as a sustainable company by reducing food wastage through timely sales and disposal.

• How Much You Ate? Food Portion Estimation on Spoons [63.611551981684244]
  Current image-based food portion estimation algorithms assume that users take images of their meals one or two times. We introduce an innovative solution that utilizes stationary user-facing cameras to track food items on utensils. The system is reliable for estimation of nutritional content of liquid-solid heterogeneous mixtures such as soups and stews.

  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.

  Food image segmentation is an important task that has ubiquitous applications, such as estimating the nutritional value of a plate of food. One challenge is that food items can overlap and mix, making them difficult to distinguish. Two models are trained and compared, one based on convolutional neural networks and the other on Bidirectional representation for Image Transformers (BEiT) The BEiT model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model by achieving a mean intersection over union of 49.4 on FoodSeg103.

  We study the problem of restocking a grocery store's inventory with perishable items over time, from a distributional point of view. The objective is to maximize sales while minimizing waste, with uncertainty about the actual consumption by costumers. We frame inventory restocking as a new reinforcement learning task that exhibits behavior conditioned on the agent's actions.
