Welcome to our latest blog post where we’re thrilled to introduce our latest dataset, a comprehensive collection of recipes scraped from the vibrant world of Food.com.

Bert
unparalleled named entity recognition
BERT extracts key entities in raw text, and a model can be trained to recognize food and ingredient nouns.
One of the most exciting parts of preparing this dataset was using BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) to extract ingredient names from the raw scraped data. BERT, a state-of-the-art language processing AI, helped us discern and categorize ingredients from diverse recipe descriptions. This not only improved the accuracy of our ingredients list but also provided fascinating insights into how different ingredients are used across various cuisines and recipes.
