Technology for Translating, Visualizing, and Generating Recipes: Multimodal Machine Translation of Chinese into English

This book details the process of building a Chinese-English machine translation system that automatically translates Chinese recipes into English through machine processing without human intervention (TransRecipe). This system is able to translate recipes into pictures and videos (VisualRecipe) through image technology and develop a system that generates a recipe from a video on dish preparation (GenRecipe) through deep learning.

Recipe processing is covered in four parts across ten chapters. The first part, Translating Recipes, studies machine processing of different parts of recipes for the construction of the TransRecipe system. The second part, Visualizing Recipes, is about the creation of the VisualRecipe system through image technology and a demonstration of its operations in practice. The third part, Generating Recipes, is about recipe generation through deep learning and the creation of the GenRecipe system. Lastly, the book concludes with looking into the future of recipe technology.

A vital read for researchers and students in translation technology, multimodal translation, and techno-humanities.
