Researchers explored how different visual representations impact the understanding of food similarity, particularly within Indian cuisine. Using an expanded Khana dataset and seven distinct pretrained visual models, they analyzed image-to-image retrieval and dish-level similarity. The study found that visual similarity varies significantly across different models and abstraction levels, and does not always align with culinary family structures or recipe-derived similarity. This highlights that food similarity is not an inherent property but is dependent on the representation and modality used. AI
IMPACT This research suggests that AI's understanding of food similarity is highly dependent on the model and data used, impacting applications like food recommendation and retrieval systems.
