If you're eatting a lot of food with barcodes on it then your doing it wrong.

All food has bar codes.

Meat from a butcher does not. Food from your own garden does not. Restaurant food also does not typically have barcodes.

Your own garden? True. Everything else you just listed actually does, at least on the ingredients (for prepared food).

The more general point is that food in the US has to be at a certain level of quality to be sold, literal barcodes aside.

Built using those newfangled convolutional neural network things. Trained caffe on a set of about a million food related images. Can't believe how accurate the classifier is... UI needs work. Would love feedback on how to make food logging more intuitive.

why caffe ? why not something like h2o or tensorflow ? just curious.

Is not Caffe actually GoogLeNet? So technically it is Google architecture.

This is not compatible with my device which is an LeTV X500, running Android 5.0.2. Is there any reason that it might not work? I'm in the UK, if that might be the reason.

This happening for me as well with a Moto X Play running Android 6.0.2 Looking forward to trying the app once I can install it though, looks neat

Found my bug! Try again. Way more droids are supported now.

This is happening for me too. Samsung Galaxy S3 on US ATT running Android 4.4.4 Cyanogenmod 11. :(

I think I resolved this problem. Try again!

How much experience with machine learning did you have before you started this project?

Cut my teeth on the netflix prize several years back. Took ML in my graduate coursework, and have dabbled with it on and off since. I love the whole theory of matrix factorization and its myriad uses.

Very cool. What do you think helped you most? Would you recommend grad school?

It's installed! Good job. :) I'll try it out at my next meal and let you know how it goes.
