Are Distributed Ledger Technologies the Panacea for Food Traceability
Simon Pearson,David May,Georgios Leontidis,Mark Swainson,Stephen Brewer,Luc Bidaut,Jeremy G. Frey,Gerard Parr,Roger Maull,Andrea Zisman +9 more
TL;DR: While DLT has the potential to transform food systems, this can only be fully realized through the global development and agreement on suitable data standards and governance, and key technical issues need to be resolved including challenges with DLT scalability, privacy and data architectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of robotics and autonomous systems in the food industry: From the supply chains perspective
Linh Nguyen Khanh Duong,Mohammed Al-Fadhli,Sandeep Jagtap,Farah Bader,Wayne Martindale,Mark Swainson,Andrea Paoli +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed the adoption of RAS in the food industry from a supply chain perspective with regard to the supply chain operations. But, most of the current literature focuses on the technological impact of the RAS.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An End-to-End Deep Neural Architecture for Optical Character Verification and Recognition in Retail Food Packaging
Fabio De Sousa Ribeiro,Liyun Gong,Francesco Caliva,Mark Swainson,Kjartan Gudmundsson,Miao Yu,Georgios Leontidis,Xujiong Ye,Stefanos Kollias +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed framework is the first to employ deep neural networks for end-to-end automatic use by date recognition in retail packaging photos, capable of achieving very good levels of performance on all the aforementioned tasks, despite the varied textual/pictorial content complexity found in food packaging design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Bayesian Self-Training
Fabio De Sousa Ribeiro,Francesco Caliva,Mark Swainson,Kjartan Gudmundsson,Georgios Leontidis,Stefanos Kollias +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a deep Bayesian self-training methodology for automatic data annotation, by leveraging predictive uncertainty estimates using variational inference and modern neural network (NN) architectures, as well as a practical adaptation procedure for handling high label variability between different dataset distributions through clustering of NN latent variable representations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of texturised soy protein and yeast on the instrumental and sensory quality of hybrid beef meatballs
TL;DR: Adding 15–30% TSP with or without yeast inclusion could be beneficial for the development of future meat hybrids with acceptable sensory quality.
