A Supercomputer Knows What Flavors You Like Better Than You Do

You probably feel like you have a good idea of what food you like and what you don't. Turns out, you might actually enjoy flavor combinations (strawberries and jalapeno!?!) that you would never have thought to try. Enter, supercomputers.

For those of us who can't stand anchovies, watching a friend devour one is confusing at best, disgusting at worst. But we all have different taste buds, and they're incredibly complex. Whether or not we like the food we eat is the result of a combination of factors: taste, flavor, smell, texture, and even temperature. Taste and flavor, for example, are surprisingly different. Taste refers to the five taste sensations we can experience: sweet, sour, salt, bitter, and umami. Flavor, on the other hand, is about the entire experience of how we feel when we taste. While our tongue provides the dominant means by which we taste, our sense of smell accounts for up to 80% of how we experience flavor. So flavor is determined by a combination of taste and smell, which in turn is determined by the ingredients in our food and how it's prepared. In other words, flavor is actually something of a mathematical equation, and it's possible to imagine personal equations for our individual likes and dislikes.

This is exactly how the supercomputer IBM Chef Watson approaches taste. IBM Chef Watson, "read up on the chemical composition of hundreds of different ingredients and analyzed some 10,000 recipes from Bon Appétit," according to a January 2016 IBM blog post on the supercomputer. "By combining that data and detecting certain patterns, Chef Watson has learned to suggest up to four different ingredients that blend together seamlessly. Four doesn't sound like much, until you realize that adds up to about one quintillion possible combinations."

How you can try it?

Want to see how IBM Chef Watson can help you make the most of your favorite treat? Bear Naked Granola has teamed up with IBM Chef Watson, enabling hungry snackers to create adventurous and delicious custom granola combinations. First, you choose from over 50 ingredients and spices to customize your own granola recipe. Next, IBM Watson will tell you if your ingredient choices work well together, measuring the combination's "synergy score." Finally, you feast! (On chocolate granola with bourbon flavor, pretzel and cashew, no less.)

What is cloud meant actually in cloud computing??

You might know of "the cloud"—that nebulous technology term that refers to a place where stored files are accessible from virtually anywhere—in terms of where you keep your music, photos, and other media to avoid filling up your phone's internal memory. And that's right—but the cloud is much, much bigger than that.

               

   Businesses around the globe also rely on the cloud. That became immediately apparent on February 28, 2017, when Amazon Simple Storage Service, A.K.A. Amazon S3, went down, causing service outages on a ton of different websites including Netflix, Airbnb, Twitter, and Slack. Amazon S3 provides web hosting, file storage, and backup services for more than 1 million clients, making it one very big example of a cloud service.
