It’s time for Cooking With Neural Networks!

Neural networks are computer programs that learn by example. Rather than a programmer teaching them step-by-step rules on how to solve a problem, neural networks try to deduce their own rules by looking at examples of lots of successful solutions. One of the first problems I tried to solve with
The neural network doesn’t understand proper nouns.

The neural network doesn’t understand proper nouns.

As the neural network begins to get better at generating cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , it continues to have trouble with recipe sources - short and highly varied, they’re a challenge for an algorithm that learns by repetition. Still, it does its best: Source: Carrots

This neural network, a learning algorithm trained on 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , generates new recipes based on probabilities. The resulting ingredients, while their words are individually probable, can end up disturbingly vague. “Yeah… I’m pretty sure this recipe’s gonna contain some…

I’m training a neural network to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] based on a database of about 30,000 examples, and one great (not great?) thing about it is it comes up with new ingredients that I’m pretty sure aren’t in the list:

The neural network gives bad cooking advice

I’ve trained the neural network on about 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , but its cooking advice still doesn’t seem that great. I’m not sure I should do or add any of these things. > 1 cup cherry seeds 42 cup milk

The neural network doesn’t understand ingredients

As the neural network learns to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , it’s very clear from the ingredients it produces that it has no clue what these words actually mean, or whether the substances involved are powders, liquids, solids, etc. It just knows that certain kinds

As the neural network tries to learn to generate recipes by looking at a 30MB cookbook [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , there are certain ingredients it has to learn to deal with. One of the most confusing for the network is pepper. In retrospect, that makes some sense

I’m training a neural network to generate cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] . It looks at a bunch of recipes and has to figure out completely from scratch - no knowledge of what English words even are - how to start generating more recipes like them.

Neural networks are computer learning algorithms that mimic the interconnected neurons of a living brain, managing astonishing feats of image classification [http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-into-neural.html] , speech recognition [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxxRAHVtafI], or music generation [https://highnoongmt.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/deep-learning-for-assisting-the-process-of-music-composition-part-1/] by
