HyperTaste: AI-based e-tongue analyzes the chemical composition of liquids - Dataconomy

Is it feasible to build a computer with a sense of taste? In response to this question, IBM Research scientists developed HyperTaste, a chemical taste sensing tool. It performs analyses and detects the chemical composition of liquids using its "electronic tongue" status. "HyperTaste was inspired by advances in AI and machine learning to mimic human senses like sight and hearing for recognizing images and interpreting speech. We wanted to present a new lens for chemical sensing," explained Patrick Ruch from IBM Research, the coauthor of the study.
