Simulating Personal Food Consumption Patterns using a Modified Markov Chain [PDF]
, 2022 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. Personalized classifiers aim to largely improve the accuracy of food image classification for each individual.
