Abstract(s)

The growing prevalence of poor nutrition is a major public health concern, as it fuels the rise of various diseases. Obesity, a silent and rapidly growing threat linked to unhealthy eating, is a prime example. Despite the abundance of information on diets and recipes, finding a personalized approach to healthy eating can be a challenge. Recommendation systems can filter from a food logging dataset the information that best suits the nutrition profile of a given user. A powerful tool to use in food recommendation systems is neural networks. However, the user’s available data are often limited, which compromises the performance of neural-based food recommendation models. To enhance user trust in food recommendations, this paper proposes a method using a secondary model to predict the errors of the primary neural network, especially when dealing with limited data.
