Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the intersection of artificial intelligence and food testing. Specifically, it relates to a Chinese liquor AI evaluation system and method based on multimodal data fusion. Background Art

[0002] As a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, the quality assessment of Chinese liquor has long relied on manual evaluation, a process characterized by subjectivity, high costs, and low efficiency. In recent years, the development of sensor technologies such as electronic noses and electronic tongues has provided new means for objectively evaluating liquor quality. However, a single sensor cannot fully capture the complex flavor profile of liquor. Electronic noses and electronic tongues can only detect physical and chemical parameters and cannot correlate with the unique stylistic characteristics of liquor (such as a rich cellar aroma and a sweet aftertaste). Foreign AI wine tasting models are designed for wine and are not suitable for the complex aroma system of Chinese liquor (12 major aromas and 53 minor aromas). Summary of the Invention

[0016] Among them, the feature fusion module is used to: use a multimodal feature fusion algorithm to fuse the electronic nose collected data, electronic tongue collected data, manual evaluation data and physical and chemical index data into a high-dimensional feature vector. The multimodal feature fusion algorithm includes feature splicing, attention mechanism or graph neural network.

[0017] Among them, the evaluation model is built based on a deep learning algorithm, and the model architecture uses a multi-layer perceptron, a convolutional neural network or a Transformer model; the training data contains a multimodal data set of thousands of liquor samples; the loss function uses a mean square error or a cross-entropy loss function; the optimization algorithm uses the Adam optimizer, and the learning rate is set to 0.001.

[0026] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which implements the steps of any of the above methods when executed by a processor.

[0027] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer device comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the steps of any of the above methods when executing the program.

[0044] A high-precision electronic nose equipped with a gas sensor array (such as metal oxide semiconductor sensors and electrochemical sensors) was used to collect volatile organic compound (VOC) data from liquor samples. The collection time for each liquor sample was set to 3-5 minutes to ensure data stability.

[0045] Electronic tongue sensor data collection:

[0046] A multi-channel electronic tongue device equipped with taste sensors (such as bitter, sweet, sour, salty, and umami) was used to collect flavor profile data for each liquor sample. The collection time for each liquor sample was set at 1-2 minutes.

[0047] Manual evaluation data collection:

[0048] A team of professional sommeliers will evaluate the liquor samples, record scores on dimensions such as aroma, taste, aftertaste, and style (e.g., a full score of 100), and generate structured data.

[0049] Physical and chemical index data collection:

[0050] Through laboratory testing, the physical and chemical index data of liquor samples such as alcohol content, total acid, total ester, and solids are obtained.

[0051] (2) Data preprocessing module
