Sowol-ro
Sowol-ro started with the concept of using artificial intelligence to generate new alcohol recipes according to ones’s tastes. To train the AI model, we collected Glucose, Acidity, and ABV data by recreating Korean traditional alcohol recipes from ancient books. In addition, this project aspired to bring our ancestors’ taste preferences into the present in hope to discover new flavors based on the past.
P.S
Due to the insufficiency of data, our AI model’s performance was poorer than expected. Thus this project should be viewed upon as a proof of concept / prototype rather than a finished project.
Future actions needed to complete this project would be to collect more recipes(thousands), make alcohols from them, cooperate with labs that have gas chromatography mass spectrometer(gcms) machines for analyzation, then finally training the AI model.
