Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated to shorten the gap between users and digital systems. IA techniques can bring a lot of advantage in facing the issue of allergic reaction related to food allergies. Recognising and avoiding the foods on which it is based is an effective way to avoid an allergic reaction. To identify possible allergens, it is important to read the food labels carefully or to know what are the ingredients from which it is made. In this paper we present a system that exploits the techniques and tools of Artificial Intelligence to extract and analyse the ingredients of a recipe, and alert the user to the presence of possible allergens. The performed experimentation shows that the system can alert the user of allergens in Wikipedia Cookbok dataset recipes.
