Third Computer Cooking Contest, Alessandria, Italy
The event is an opportunity for participants and contestants to work with artificial intelligence technologies such as case-based reasoning, semantic technologies, search and information extraction. At the same time, the addition of cooking adds a fun, unpredictable element (particularly when using a computer to design the menu).
The Computer Cooking Contest is an open competition. Individuals, research groups and others can submit software that creates recipes. The only input will be a database of basic recipes from which appropriate recipes must be selected, modified, or even combined. Queries to the system will include the desired ingredients and other requirements. For most of the queries there is no single correct or best answer. That is, many different solutions are possible, depending on the creativity of your software.
The event organisers have not made any restrictions on the technology that may be used. The only condition is that the given database of recipes must be used as a starting point. Queries will be described in free text but the software to be developed can employ any language for user.
The computer-based recipe creations are evaluated by a professional cook and an international jury of scientists.
The event will take place at the same time as the International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (ICCBR2010).For further information, please visit:
