Typicality analysis of the combination of ingredients in a cooking recipe for assisting the arrangement of ingredients

As the number of cooking recipes posted on the Web increases, it becomes difficult to find a cooking recipe that a user needs. Moreover, even if it can be done, it is still difficult for users to arrange the cooking recipe, for example, by replacing ingredients with different ones. To deal with such problems, we propose a framework for typicality analysis of the combination of ingredients. The framework calculates a typicality value for each combination of ingredients. The list of ingredients can be arranged by adjusting the typicality value by adding or removing ingredients iteratively. The effectiveness of the proposed framework was confirmed through subjective experiments.
