Yixin Zhang presented her research at the International Workshop on Multimedia for Cooking, Eating, and Related Applications 2022 (CEA++2022). This workshop was held as part of ACM Multimedia Conference, one of the most prestigious international conferences in multimedia technology.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our lab had been unable to participate in in-person conferences for the past three years, making this our first in-person conference presentation in the three years.
Her presentation was not about proposing a specific technology but rather about creating and releasing a dataset consisting of 12,000 recipes (with about 110,000 individual cooking steps). Each cooking step includes text descriptions and images, and ingredient annotations are provided. In recent years, with the growing importance of machine learning, the creation and publication of such datasets have become significant contributions to the research community.
This first in-person conference in three years for us was held in Lisbon, Portugal. Since flights no longer pass over Russia, the distance to Europe has become considerably longer.
Lisbon, known as the departure point for many explorers during the Age of Exploration, features monuments honoring these explorers.
Although Lisbon faces a river rather than the ocean, it is located near the river’s mouth, where it meets the sea. As a result, seafood appears to be one of its specialties.
