Patent number: 11880651Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Pablo Meyer Rojas, Guillermo Cecchi, Elif Eyigoz, Raquel Norel

Patent number: 10665330Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Guillermo A.

Publication number: 20180089739Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for predicting consumer response to a stimulus based on olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. An intrinsic factor score associated with a product can be determined based on an intrinsic attribute of the stimulus, and optionally, further based on data indicative of historical consumer response to olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. A social factor score associated with a user can also be determined using available olfactory preference data associated with the user and/or data representative of one or more social signals indicative of a predicted response of the user to olfactory characteristics of the stimulus. A collaborative filtering technique can be employed to determine a recommendation score for the stimulus using the intrinsic factor score and the social factor score. The recommendation score can be compared to a threshold value to determine whether to recommend the stimulus to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2016Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Guillermo Cecchi, Amit Dhurandhar, Stacey M.
