It’s time for Cooking With Neural Networks!

Neural networks are computer programs that learn by example. Rather than a programmer teaching them step-by-step rules on how to solve a problem, neural networks try to deduce their own rules by looking at examples of lots of successful solutions.

One of the first problems I tried to solve with neural networks, inspired by this post, was generating new cookbook recipes by letting a neural network look at about 30,000 existing recipes. This, as it turns out, is not a great way to get a coherent recipe. With a memory only a few words long, and without any concept that the letters it was choosing corresponded to ingredients and things that were happening to them, the neural net’s recipes were usually inadvisable and frequently impossible.

As it so happens, I was testing out some features of textgenrnn and turned to recipes as a test dataset. As a result, I have some new “gems” to share with you.

Framework: textgenrnn, longtext mode
Memory: 40 characters (default)
Training length: ~15 hours on an Nvidia K80 (via Google Cloud)
Sampling temperature: 0.6

First, allow me to present some of my favorite individual ingredients:

½ teaspoon ground beer
½ cup crushed sherry
1 lavy milk
½ cup fresh minced or worky sugar
½ teaspoon dried margarine
1 ½ teaspoon minced powder
1 single sugar
1 long granulated sugar
1 green cubes
1 spanish water
2 lb beer stock
1 cup cream cheese seed

And now, the recipes:

Christed Whites Continue Sauce

main dish, discorti, crabmets

Note:: Mix to recipe of sweetened sugar. Add the blueberries a squart until thickens of to a 4" Nut in Marrgarine using; ½ ** esed nam, stew

1 small garlic; chopp

Yield: 6 servings

I guess dividing the 4 sauces into 6 servings is left as an exercise to the reader.

Sheet Pepper

low fat, bbq, bbq, cannings, soup

3 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon sugar

Combine sugar and sugar and sprinkle with the sugar. Place a desired pan, and let stand 1 minute. Add the salt and pepper. Add beef
and turkey and sides of cake of butter. Bring to a boil, bake at 350 degrees F. Retep the bottom of pan in a large rack.

Combine the chocolate cheese and the cheese and serve with quarters. Remove from pan and add to strainers and simmer until the sauce forms the clear some eggs and so the finger large soup comes out cleandrated with masil cooking lengthwise and the well some of the beef and the steamed sauce. It is the measure of board with a sloth bone. Serve warm. Sprinkle with dry salt, then add the shallots and salt and pepper. Sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Stir until potatoes are softened. Remove from heat; cover and
simmer 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and butter. Add to bisquins. Stir to make uncooked and serve, up to 2 cups. Pour into 1 cup soup. Add 1 tbsp. cabbage

I’ve got several more blog posts about recipes (using char-rnn rather than textgenrnn). If you want to read more from textgenrnn (which does seem to make different mistakes from char-rnn), and/or get bonus material every time I post, enter your email here.
