Disturbingly vague ingredients generated by neural network

This neural network, a learning algorithm trained on 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , generates new recipes based on probabilities. The resulting ingredients, while their words are individually probable, can end up disturbingly vague. “Yeah… I’m pretty sure this recipe’s gonna contain some…

I’m training a neural network to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] based on a database of about 30,000 examples, and although it sometimes comes up with ingredients that sound like a bad idea, sometimes it invents some that you could plausibly ask for at

I trained the neural network to generate superhero names, based on the list from this site. [http://www.superherodb.com/characters/] I thought the database was going to be way too small, but the network proved me wrong. Speet Stank Red Fart Mister Man Rad Food Sapgirl Woop Ann Man

The neural network has weird ideas about what humans like to eat

So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes. The generated titles can get a bit odd. There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is

The neural network gives bad cooking advice

I’ve trained the neural network on about 30MB of cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , but its cooking advice still doesn’t seem that great. I’m not sure I should do or add any of these things. > 1 cup cherry seeds 42 cup milk

The neural network doesn’t understand ingredients

As the neural network learns to generate recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , it’s very clear from the ingredients it produces that it has no clue what these words actually mean, or whether the substances involved are powders, liquids, solids, etc. It just knows that certain kinds

The neural network doesn’t understand pepper.

As the neural network tries to learn to generate recipes by looking at a 30MB cookbook [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] , there are certain ingredients it has to learn to deal with. One of the most confusing for the network is pepper. In retrospect, that makes some sense

I’m training a neural network to generate cookbook recipes [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/140219420017/the-silicon-gourmet-training-a-neural-network-to] . It looks at a bunch of recipes and has to figure out completely from scratch - no knowledge of what English words even are - how to start generating more recipes like them.

Neural networks are computer learning algorithms that mimic the interconnected neurons of a living brain, managing astonishing feats of image classification [http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-into-neural.html] , speech recognition [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxxRAHVtafI], or music generation [https://highnoongmt.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/deep-learning-for-assisting-the-process-of-music-composition-part-1/] by
