Auto-Chef

Abstract

Smart phones are becoming popular nowadays. Within the smart phones their play stores are playing an important role. Currently, there are two types of play stores: android based play store and IOS platform-based application store. The hundreds of thousands of applications present on these application stores are well-liked by the users. These applications limit the usage of traditional websites of specific data, like in our case recipe websites etc. Our aim is to develop an android application named auto-chef. Auto chef is basically IBM project by chef Watson. In our application users select their ingredients (can be limited) and he/she would get recipes according to selected ingredients. If the user doesn’t like the recipes than by using the auto generate feature they can auto generate the new recipes with the help of provided ingredients. For this purpose we are using a recipe database (recipe name, ingredients, procedure, cooking time)and N-gram and Bi-gram algorithms. Users are also allowed to upload their recipes using upload feature which would be helpful to other users. The uploaded recipes are then categorized in main page. After uploading users are allowed to see his/her uploaded recipes. We also have an admin application that allows admin to see the users that have uploaded the recipes and admin can also delete the recipe if it is not feasible.
