Comparison of Image Recognition APIs on food images

The media service at Grubhub ingests and manages images for every menu item currently available on the Grubhub platform. These images need to be moderated for prohibited content and quality before they are presented to our diners. Manual moderation of millions of pre-existing images on the platform along with the ones constantly being added everyday, is a tedious task. Automating this process saves time of the manual moderators allowing them to focus only on moderating images that cannot be approved by the automated process. Owing to the increase in computational power due to the advent of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), usage of Neural Networks to identify objects in images has become feasible.
