Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we investigated systematization of food related words and phrases. Our method uses two different approaches for related search: (1) approximate string matching and (2) related terms clustering. Specifically, our method extracts feature words and phrases in an arbitrary length from a large recipe corpus, groups them by attribute types, and presents the searched related words and phrases according to the user's search intent. An exploratory search with the proposed method is expected to improve usefulness of searching systems on food related information by suggesting dish names, ingredient names, and cooking methods even if users do not know effective query words beforehand.
