Helena H. Lee, Ke Shu, Palakorn Achananuparp, Philips Kokoh Prasetyo, Yue Liu, Ee-Peng Lim, and Lav R. Varshney. 2020. RecipeGPT: Generative Pre-training Based Cooking Recipe Generation and Evaluation System. In Companion Proceedings of the Web Conference 2020 (WWW 20 Companion), April 20-24, 2020, Taipei, Taiwan.

Our paper can be downloaded at arxiv

Our poster can be downloaded at here

We also provide an online website that allows the users to generate cooking recipes at https://recipegpt.org/

Please contact helenalee.bt01@gmail.com if you have any questions or problems.

We forked the this implementation in order to train and fine-tune gpt-2.

Google colab

We create a notebook google-colab-notebook to assist you re-produce our work. We show examples of model training, model inference, and model evaluation. Google Colab removed support for Tensorflow 1. It's impossible to reproduce this work via Colab anymore.

It's a simplified version of our notebook 6, 7, 9

• We utilize food_taxonomy.txt from Here to create an ingredient database . (Download your own or from our google-drive)
• We utilize vocab.bin, the word embedding trained by Salvador (Already in github)
• We utilize layer1.json , which contains the textual content of Recipe1M(Please click Layers (381 MiB) and download your own)

You may need these files if you want to reproduce notebook 9.
