Goals
Most of the products photos and data on https://world.openfoodfacts.org is crowdsourced by users who scan product barcodes, use the Open Food Facts mobile app to send photos of the product, ingredients and nutrition facts, and the Open Food Facts web site to input the corresponding data. This project aims to find errors in data entered by users, and to speed up data entry by automatically classifying products or making suggestions to contributors.
Classification
Automatically classify products into product categories, brands, labels
Error detection
Find errors in values entered by users for the nutrion facts (energy, fat, carbohydrates, proteins, salt etc.)
Data
Approaches, algorithms etc.
(I just listed some initial ideas -- Stephane)
Classification
- use words extracted from OCR on product photos to classify products into categories, brands and labels
Error detection
- cluster products by category to find outliers
Measuring results
