*One Day Symposium on Computational Gastronomy: The Emerging Data Science
of Food, Flavors, Nutrition & Health *#GastroSym2022
21st December 2022, Wednesday, Time: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
*Venue: Research and Development Block, IIIT Delhi, India *
Cooking forms the core of our cultural identity other than being the basis
of nutrition and health. The increasing availability of culinary data and
the advent of computational methods for their scrutiny are dramatically
changing the artistic outlook towards gastronomy. The application of
data-driven strategies for investigating gastronomic data has opened up
exciting avenues giving rise to an all-new field of ‘Computational
Gastronomy’. This emerging interdisciplinary science asks questions of
culinary origin to seek their answers via the compilation of culinary data
and their analysis using methods of statistics, computer science, and
artificial intelligence. These endeavors have the potential to transform
the food landscape by effectively leveraging data-driven food innovations
for better health, nutrition, and a sustainable future.
The 'Complex Systems Laboratory' at IIIT-Delhi (Prof. Ganesh Bagler) has
been on the forefront of this emerging data science and has contributed to
its foundation via pioneering studies in food pairing, culinary
fingerprints, and health impacts of food, other than creating structured
data repositories of recipes from across the world (RecipeDB), flavor
molecules (FlavorDB), food-disease associations (DietRx, SpiceRx) and
applications for novel recipes generation (Ratatouille).
The 'Symposium on Computational Gastronomy' is aimed at providing an
exposition of this emerging interdisciplinary science involving data
collection and curation, data analytics, machine learning, natural language
processing, and pattern mining. ‘Computational Gastronomy’ has the
potential to transform the landscape of food and can be effectively
leveraged for better health and nutrition through an array of culinary
applications (recipe design, food-beverage pairing, novel recipe
generation, disease-specific culinary recommendation, dietary
interventions, flavor combinations, taste prediction, etc.) apart from
providing valuable insights into the principles of culinary sciences. Such
advances are expected to set new trends in various allied sectors including
food, health, hospitality, and tourism.

Who should attend: Chefs; Students and professionals from culinary domains;
Researchers and other industry professionals interested in applications of
computational gastronomy; Computer scientists and data science enthusiasts.
