In this letter, based on the exponential scalar auxiliary variable technology, we propose and study a new class of explicit energy-preserving splitting methods for solving the charged-particle dynamics. The energy-preserving property of…

Dietary assessment is a key contributor to monitoring health status. Existing self-report methods are tedious and time-consuming with substantial biases and errors. Image-based food portion estimation aims to estimate food energy values…

Algorithmic decisions often result in scoring and ranking individuals to determine credit worthiness, qualifications for college admissions and employment, and compatibility as dating partners. While automatic and seemingly objective,…

Integrated global food system analysis is hampered by the fragmentation of data among food types, processes, and scales. Studies also often neglect the connection to human metabolism -- the ultimate driver of food demand. Here we use a…

This paper proposes a novel scoring function for the planning module of MPC-based reinforcement learning methods to address the inherent bias of using the reward function to score trajectories. The proposed method enhances the learning…

Food loss and waste is a problem with rising global recognition. Attempts to combat food waste at institutional levels such as college campus dining halls require insight into food waste statistics to evaluate efforts to reduce food waste.…

This paper determines the extent to which short textual inputs (in this case, names of dishes) can improve calorie estimation compared to an image-only baseline model and whether any improvements are statistically significant. Utilizes the…

We propose a mechanism to use the features of flavour to enhance the quality of food recommendations. An empirical method to determine the flavour of food is incorporated into a recommendation engine based on major gustatory nerves. Such a…

In this paper we present a new object counting method that is intended for counting similarly sized and mostly round objects. Unlike many other algorithms of the same purpose, the proposed method does not rely on identifying every object,…

In this paper, the calorimetric power measurement method for electron cyclotron resonance heating system on EAST are presented. This method requires measurement of the water flow through the cooling circuits and the input and output water…

The new simple method of the energy reconstruction for a combined calorimeter, which we called the e/h method, is suggested. It uses only the known e/h ratios and the electron calibration constants and does not require the determination of…

Deriving nutritional information from online food posts is challenging, particularly when users do not explicitly log the macro-nutrients of a shared meal. In this work, we present an efficient and straightforward approach to approximating…

Worldwide, in 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these, over 600 million were obese. Accurately documenting dietary caloric intake is crucial to manage weight loss, but also presents challenges…

Food journaling is an effective method to help people identify their eating patterns and encourage healthy eating habits as it requires self-reflection on eating behaviors. Current tools have predominately focused on tracking food intake,…

When comparing performance (of products, services, entities, etc.), multiple attributes are involved. This paper deals with a way of weighting these attributes when one is seeking an overall score. It presents an objective approach to…

Food image classification serves as the foundation of image-based dietary assessment to predict food categories. Since there are many different food classes in real life, conventional models cannot achieve sufficiently high accuracy.…

This study introduces chromatic calorimetry, a novel particle detection method that uses strategically layered scintillators with different emission wavelengths. This approach aims to enhance energy measurement by capturing particle…

Advances in image-based dietary assessment methods have allowed nutrition professionals and researchers to improve the accuracy of dietary assessment, where images of food consumed are captured using smartphones or wearable devices. These…

Imbalanced nutrition is a global health issue with significant downstream effects. Current methods of assessing nutrient levels face several limitations, with accessibility being a major concern. In this paper, we take a step towards…

Access to capital is a major constraint for economic growth in the developing world. Yet those attempting to lend in this space face high defaults due to their inability to distinguish creditworthy borrowers from the rest. In this paper, we…
