SIGNIFICANCE

As a whole, the impact of this work will be to (a) accelerate knowledge discovery and applications around health and nutrition by creating the necessary infrastructure (databases, algorithms, software packages, benchmarks), (b) demonstrate that an end-to-end diet recommendation system is possible and create a first proof-of-concept implementation that can be refined and adopted in the future, which in turn will add in our tool arsenal for a healthier society through better food choices.

GOALS

The specific aims are (a) create the necessary components for a diet recommendation system (aim 1), (b) integrate these components to a DRS system and evaluate its performance, including explainability (aim 2), (c) fine-tune and design the next generation DRS for Y3 (aim 3).
