This study motivates the need for automated diet assessment and proposes a framework to achieve this. Within this framework, we focus on one of the core functionalities to visually recognize various ingredients. To this end, we employed a deep multi-label learning approach and evaluated several state-of-the-art neural networks for their ability to detect an arbitrary number of ingredients in a dish image. The models evaluated in this work follow a definite meta-structure, consisting of an encoder and a decoder component. Two distinct decoding schemes, one based on global average pooling and the other on attention mechanism, are evaluated and benchmarked. Whereas for encoding, several well-known architectures, including DenseNet, EfficientNet, MobileNet, Inception and Xception, were employed. We present promising preliminary results for deep learning-based ingredients detection, using a challenging dataset, Nutrition5K, and establish a strong baseline for future explorations.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.14147v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.14147v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"food-ingredients-recognition-through-multi-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/RameezI/dishscan","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"decoder","task_name":"Decoder"},{"task_slug":"food-recognition","task_name":"Food Recognition"},{"task_slug":"multi-label-learning","task_name":"Multi-Label Learning"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"1x1-convolution","method_name":"1x1 Convolution"},{"method_slug":"average-pooling","method_name":"Average Pooling"},{"method_slug":"batch-normalization","method_name":"Batch Normalization"},{"method_slug":"concatenated-skip-connection","method_name":"Concatenated Skip Connection"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dense-block","method_name":"Dense Block"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"depthwise-convolution","method_name":"Depthwise Convolution"},{"method_slug":"depthwise-separable-convolution","method_name":"Depthwise Separable Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dropout","method_name":"Dropout"},{"method_slug":"global-average-pooling","method_name":"Global Average Pooling"},{"method_slug":"inverted-residual-block","method_name":"Inverted Residual Block"},{"method_slug":"kaiming-initialization","method_name":"Kaiming Initialization"},{"method_slug":"max-pooling","method_name":"Max Pooling"},{"method_slug":"pointwise-convolution","method_name":"Pointwise Convolution"},{"method_slug":"rmsprop","method_name":"RMSProp"},{"method_slug":"relu","method_name":"ReLU"},{"method_slug":"residual-connection","method_name":"Residual Connection"},{"method_slug":"sigmoid-activation","method_name":"Sigmoid Activation"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"},{"method_slug":"squeeze-and-excitation-block","method_name":"Squeeze-and-Excitation Block"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
