The work is very interesting. The title is misleading. A better title would be: "all of human ingredients compressed into 1,800 primitives" There is little to substantively nothing about the actual cooking: preparation methods, proportions, etc. But the idea that tomato goes well with beef the whole world over is very interesting and useful for creating flavors that will go together, perhaps surprisingly. It will be…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yep. Zero temperature is neither necessary nor sufficient for deterministic inference.

Why?

You can seed the randomness are still having nonzero temperature.

Numerical instability can introduce randomness especially on GPU like hardware unless you’re very careful about how you write your algorithms.

I would like one day to have a database which measure how strongly every food ingredient in use binds to every human smell receptors.
