Here we go. The first I heard of machine learning advanced image recognition was when I heard that machine learning algorithms can detect melanomas better than a panel of experts.
As is often the case, technology developed for high-brow uses spreads to all kinds of uses. This now includes pizza. Domino’s Pizza will use machine learning to look through a video camera at each pizza made. The machine learning algorithm can compare the pizza being made to what the algorithm has been trained to identify as the perfect pizza. The machine learning algorithm will no doubt be able to give each pizza made a score and notify the manager whether the pizza passes minimum standards.
As with other fast food outlets, consistency is key. Machine learning will not be able to taste the pizza, but it will be able to identify where the pizza doesn’t look right. A win for pizza lovers everywhere!
