US Patent 10957424 Neural network method of generating food formulas

Techniques to mimic a target food item using artificial intelligence are disclosed. A formula generator is trained using combinations of ingredients. A training set may include, for each combination of ingredients, proportions, and features of the ingredients in a respective combination of ingredients. Given a target food item, the formula generator determines a predicted formula that matches the given target food item. The predicted formula includes a set ingredients and a respective proportion of each ingredient in the set of ingredient.
