Chapter TransRecipe for Translating Recipes through Machine Processing : IN Book: Technology for Translating, Visualizing, and Generating Recipes

Abstract

This book details the process of building a Chinese-English machine translation system that automatically translates Chinese recipes into English through machine processing without human intervention ( TransRecipe ). This system is able to translate recipes into pictures and videos ( VisualRecipe ) through image technology and develop a system that generates a recipe from a video on dish preparation ( GenRecipe ) through deep learning. Recipe processing is covered in four parts across ten chapters. The first part, Translating Recipes , studies the machine processing of different parts of recipes for the construction of the TransRecipe system. The second part, Visualizing Recipes , is about the creation of the VisualRecipe system through image technology and a demonstration of its operations in practice. The third part, Generating Recipes , is about recipe creation through deep learning and the creation of the GenRecipe system. Lastly, the book concludes by looking into the future of recipe technology. The title is a vital read for researchers and students in translation technology, multimodal translation, and techno-humanities.
