visually, maybe. in taste, not at all. Comte and Beaufort maybe, Comte and Gruyere? no way

It's hard to taste a picture! I'm not saying they're exactly the same, but they're made in extremely similar ways. I'm from a less cheese-y part of Europe, but isn't Comté often called Gruyère de Comté for a reason? Of course they'll taste very different when aged for very different amount of times, but I've found them to be decently similar when aged for similar amounts of time.

I’ve never seen Gruyère develop those strong flavours (18m+), then again to be fair in France Gruyère is rarely aged

To be fair, Comté and Gruyere are pretty much as similar as 2 different types of cheeses can get.

People are saying no, but nobody is offering a more-similar pair of cheeses.

beauford is much more similar to compté

Reblochon is seen as Cantal (quite sure).

How huge is the dataset?

I got 15 cheeses from FR a few days ago (all French cheeses from the vicinity of Blois) and it had 100% of them wrong. Cheese 16 was a cheddar and it categorised that as Comte, but now I see here that it only recognises French ones? I do like the idea though; my wife can recognise many on sight and smell but I am more of a barbarian and know practically nothing about these except that I like or not like; it would be…

It's a gold idea from an advertising agency. It's sadly just fluff for award shows.

How close are we to having a webcam/microphone for smells? Even if it only detects a small fraction of the thousands of the existing molecules, it would definitely be interesting, especially with some learning model built on top.

I read "Shazam for Chess" which would be quite interesting.

1.) Make a photo of a chess position

2.) Recognize position and convert to digital format

3.) Search chess database of grandmasters and return relevant games in png format
