Ultra-Processed Foods: AI’s New Contribution to Nutrition Science

Posted by in categories: food, health, information science, robotics/AI, science

Summary: Researchers developed a machine learning algorithm, FoodProX, capable of predicting the degree of processing in food products.

The tool scores foods on a scale from zero (minimally or unprocessed) to 100 (highly ultra-processed). FoodProX bridges gaps in existing nutrient databases, providing higher resolution analysis of processed foods.

This development is a significant advancement for researchers examining the health impacts of processed foods.

CAPTCHA-Breaking Services with Human Solvers Helping Cybercriminals Defeat Security

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, food, robotics/AI

Cybersecurity researchers are warning about CAPTCHA-breaking services that are being offered for sale to bypass systems designed to distinguish legitimate users from bot traffic.

“Because cybercriminals are keen on breaking CAPTCHAs accurately, several services that are primarily geared toward this market demand have been created,” Trend Micro said in a report published last week.

“These CAPTCHA-solving services don’t use [optical character recognition] techniques or advanced machine learning methods; instead, they break CAPTCHAs by farming out CAPTCHA-breaking tasks to actual human solvers.”

Virtual Reality Could Soon Include Smells Thanks to New Wireless Scent Interface

Posted by in categories: food, neuroscience, virtual reality

But they’re not the only ones. Multiple companies are working on haptic devices, like gloves or vests, to add a sense of touch to virtual experiences. And now, researchers are aiming to integrate a fourth sense: smell.

How much more real might that peaceful meadow feel if you could smell the wildflowers and the damp Earth around you? How might the scent of an ocean breeze amplify a VR experience that takes place on a boat or a beach?

Scents have a powerful effect on the brain, eliciting emotions, memories, and sometimes even fight-or-flight responses. You may feel nostalgic with the cologne or perfume a favorite grandparent wore, comforted by a whiff of a favorite food, or extra-alert to your surroundings if it smells like something’s burning.

Robot Passes Turing Test for Polyculture Gardening

Posted by in categories: food, robotics/AI

UC Berkeley researchers developed an automated hydroponic system called AlphaGarden, which combines a commercial gantry robot farming system and a plant growth simulator. And it arguably cares for plants better than a professional human.

The DNA of Decision-Making

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food, genetics

Summary: A novel study uncovers a peculiar pattern of decision-making in mice, influenced by a specific gene named Arc.

While searching for food, mice repeatedly visited an empty location instead of staying at a site abundant in food. However, mice lacking the Arc gene demonstrated a more practical approach, sticking with the food-rich site, thereby consuming more calories overall.

This unique research potentially opens the door for a new field, ‘decision genetics’, investigating the genetic influence on decision-making, possibly even in humans.

Can a chatbot help people with eating disorders as well as another human?

Posted by in categories: food, robotics/AI

National eating disorder helpline fired its staff and replaced them with AI.


The National Eating Disorders Association is shutting its telephone helpline down, firing its small staff and hundreds of volunteers. Instead it’s using a chatbot — and not because the bot is better.
