NutritionVerse-Thin: An Optimized Strategy for Enabling Improved Rendering of 3D Thin Food Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 With the growth in capabilities of generative models, there has been growing interest in using photo-realistic renders of common 3D food items to improve downstream tasks such as food printing, nutrition prediction, or management of food wastage. Despite 3D modelling capabilities being more accessible than ever due to the success of NeRF based view ...

Uncertainty-Aware Self-Supervised Target-Mass Grasping of Granular Foods [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Food packing industry workers typically pick a target amount of food by hand from a food tray and place them in containers. Since menus are diverse and change frequently, robots must adapt and learn to handle new foods in a short time-span. Learning to grasp a specific amount of granular food requires a large training dataset, which is challenging to ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Food-500 Cap: A Fine-Grained Food Caption Benchmark for Evaluating Vision-Language Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown impressive performance in substantial downstream multi-modal tasks. However, only comparing the fine-tuned performance on downstream tasks leads to the poor interpretability of VLMs, which is adverse to their future improvement.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Spot‐14 and Spot‐14R play distinct roles in regulating metabolism in brown and beige adipocytes. While both influence lipid and glucose pathways, Spot‐14 uniquely controls thermogenic gene expression. This dual regulation balances energy storage and heat production, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for obesity and metabolic disorders. Spot 14
