…an effort at “computational creativity” that relies as much on software models of the psychology of taste perception as it does on a database of recipes. The goal of this computer isn’t to retrieve what is already known but to discover something new.
…for now, it takes selections about genres and key ingredients and feeds them into a complex system that combines a repository of recipes with databases of “psycho- and chemo-informatics”—computer models of how the human palate might respond to different combinations of flavors. There are literally trillions of possibilities. The program’s mission is to sort them based on its predictions of how pleasant and surprising those combinations might be.
