Prediction of olfactory and taste perception through semantic encoding

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include methods, systems, and computer program products for predicting olfactory perception. A non-limiting example of the method includes receiving a library including a plurality of indexed olfactory descriptors. The method also includes receiving an olfactory target descriptor. The method also includes calculating a coefficient matrix and a perceptual distance between an indexed olfactory descriptor and an olfactory target descriptor. The method also includes generating a perceptual descriptor prediction for the olfactory target.
