  • Patent number: 11880651
    Abstract: Taste and smell classification from multilanguage descriptions can be performed by extracting, by one or more processors using natural language processing, a text including one or more words associated with taste and smell perceptions from an input received from a plurality of users. The input includes multilanguage information regarding at least one of changes in smell and changes in taste perceived by each of the plurality of users. Feature vectors are generated for the text extracted from the input using global vectors, and a distance between the feature vectors and a plurality of reference descriptors associated with taste and smell is calculated for determining a similarity between the text and the reference descriptors and creating a training dataset based on which a classification model is generated for categorizing the plurality of users according to the at least one of changes in smell and changes in taste.

  • Patent number: 10665330
    Abstract: Predicting human olfactory perception based on molecular structure is described. Molecular descriptor data indicative of molecular descriptors associated with a group of molecular samples can be obtained. Olfactory perception indicator (OPI) data for a set of OPIs can also be obtained with respect to the molecular samples. A training model can be executed on the molecular descriptor data and the OPI data to yield an output model that correlates molecular attributes with OPIs for a single individual or across an aggregate of individuals. The output model can be used to predict olfactory perception for a particular compound or mixture based on which OPIs are correlated with molecular descriptors of the compound or mixture in the output model. The output model can also be inverted and used to identify molecular descriptors that are correlated with a desired set of OPIs. A molecular construct having the molecular descriptors can then be generated.

  • Patent number: 10469398
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for selecting forecasting model complexity using eigenvalues are provided in the illustrative embodiments A process is represented in a model. The model comprises a mathematical representation of the process in a certain degree. A first portion of historical data generated by the process during a first period is selected and includes an actual value of an outcome of the process and a value of a feature influencing the process during the first period. A prediction is made of a predicted value of the outcome. A difference between the prediction and the actual value of the outcome is determined. The difference is represented as a change in a distribution of eigenvalues. According to the change, a second model is to represent the process. The second model comprises a second mathematical representation of the process in a different degree.
