MIT's AI knows what's in your cookies just by looking at them
Imagine an app that can help you figure out how to replicate what you're eating in a restaurant and help track your calorie intake just by taking a picture of your plate. A team of MIT CSAIL researchers have developed an artificial intelligence system that has the potential to evolve into that kind of application. They call the AI Pic2Recipe, because it can predict the ingredients and recipe used to make a dish from a single snapshot. If that sounds familia, it's probably because of "See Food," the fictional app that made an appearance in HBO's Silicon Valley, and a new-ish Pinterest feature that recognizes the most prominent ingredients in a picture of food.
