Multilingualization of Cooking by Analogical Description

Abstract

As described in this paper, we propose a new analogical description for cooking and a method to generate it automatically. The analogical description consists of a similar cooking and differences between those cooking, such as ‘Okonomiyaki = Korean pancake - leek + cabbage’. To extract a similar cooking and differences for the description, we analyze recipe data of cooking sites. In this paper, we proposed two types of feature vector to calculate the similarity. We specifically examine six elements as differences of cooking and its similar cooking (e.g., foods and cooking-related verbs). We demonstrate that our proposed description is expressible in subject experiment.
