Systems, methods, and devices for personalized food recommendation using machine learning

PendingUS20260050836A1Machine learningPersonalizationFood preference
A method for generating food recommendations includes obtaining food item files from online sources. Ingredients are identified from the food items. The food item files are tagged with metadata identifying the ingredients. A first set of vectors is generated that represent values for each of the food items and the ingredients. Food preferences are received from a user input. Ingredients are identified from the user input food preferences. A second set of vectors is generated that represent the user preferences based on the user input. The first set of vectors are compared to the second set of vectors. Vectors are selected from the first set of vectors based on similarity scores between the vector sets that meet or exceed a similarity threshold. Menu items are identified with food items that match the selected vectors. The identified menu items are provided as a recommendation.

Deep learning-based eating micro-expression and food satisfaction correlation analysis method and application

PendingCN122244925ADigital data information retrievalCharacter and pattern recognitionFood preferenceMicroexpression
This invention relates to the field of health data analysis technology, and particularly to a method and application for analyzing the correlation between eating micro-expressions and food satisfaction based on deep learning. The method includes the following steps: S1, capturing facial video images of users during the eating process using a camera device, and extracting eating facial feature sequences from them; S2, separating chewing actions and facial muscle movements from the eating facial feature sequences based on the spatial displacement differences of facial key points, and obtaining target micro-expression feature vectors. In this invention, by cross-evaluating the captured eating micro-expression emotional state with the user's physiological health indicators, nutritional threshold constraints and weight corrections are applied to the initial food preferences generated based on emotions. This allows for strict control of the intake of core risk nutrients while catering to the user's personal taste satisfaction, ultimately generating personalized recommended recipes that balance emotional experience and medical health standards.
