Abstract

Techniques to suggest one or more sets of ingredients that can be used to recreate or mimic a target sensory description using artificial intelligence are disclosed. An artificial intelligence model includes a transformer inspired neural network architecture that learns from ingredients, recipes, and sensory profiles. The artificial intelligence model includes a sensory transformer model that generates a probability distribution of source ingredients based on an embedding associated with first digital data representing ingredients and the second digital data representing sensory description, and a selector that selects at least one candidate ingredient from the probability distribution of source ingredients for the embedding. A complete set of ingredients generated based on the at least one candidate ingredient when combined become a food product that has or achieves the sensory description.
