Food Recommendation as Language Processing (F-RLP): A Personalized and Contextual Paradigm

원문 초록

State-of-the-art rule-based and classification-based food recommendation systems face significant challenges in becoming practical and useful. This difficulty arises primarily because most machine learning models struggle with problems characterized by an almost infinite number of classes and a limited number of samples within an unbalanced dataset. Conversely, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) as recommendation engines offers a promising avenue. However, a general-purpose Recommendation as Language Processing (RLP) approach lacks the critical components necessary for effective food recommendations. To address this gap, we introduce Food Recommendation as Language Processing (F-RLP), a novel framework that offers a food-specific, tailored infrastructure. F-RLP leverages the capabilities of LLMs to maximize their potential, thereby paving the way for more accurate, personalized food recommendations.
