Cooking the Books The Semantic Structure of Recipes David Tresner-Kirsch dwkirsch@gmail.com Masters Thesis Computational Linguistics Brandeis University, Spring 2010
Abstract A data-driven semantic analysis of the structure and meaning of cooking recipes, and an implementation of software that automatically derive this structure from raw recipe text.
I. Task and Domain The goal of this project is a software package capable of generating a structured representation of the actions described by the text of recipes. It is developed and tested using a recipe database culled from the website allrecipes.com for previous work [Shwayder and Tresner-Kirsch]. The Toll-House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe will be used as a source of examples in this paper. This recipe is reproduced in full below. Ingredients * 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 cup 2 sticks) butter, softened * 3/4 cup granulated sugar * 3/4 cup packed brown sugar * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 2 large eggs * 2 cups 12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels * 1 cup chopped nuts Instructions:
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. II. Linguistic Observations The solution to this task was informed by observation of the text of 100 recipes, including detailed hand-annotation of 40 of those recipes. Observations of relevant patterns and phenomena at the document, clause, and word levels are summarized here. Recipes are strictly composed of two distinct sections: an ingredient list and a set of instructions. Language is used quite differently in the two sections, and it is necessary to approach their analysis with accordingly differentiated techniques. 1. Ingredient List Fragments, generally consisting of a quantity, a unit of measure, a collection of nouns and adjectives naming an ingredient, and a collection of past-participles describing preparatory actions on the ingredient e.g. 1 cup chopped nuts). The quantity and unit are sometimes omitted, and the verbs are often omitted e.g. salt and pepper).
2. Instructions Prose, in reasonably complete sentences, mostly in imperative mood e.g. Gradually beat in flour mixture). Food activity verbs beat) are applied to ingredients or ingredient constructs. Many of the contentful words used in recipes are drawn from very small vocabularies. Units of measurement: cups, Tbsp., pound, pinch, dash, etc. Food activities: mix, melt, whisk, etc. Recipe authors fairly strictly employ a smaller subset of possible words than might normally be acceptable in describing the inted actions. Some words that are close synonyms to frequently used food activity verbs may appear extremely rarely in recipes e.g. merge and unite could convey the same instruction as mix, but do not appear in the analyzed data). Ingredients: butter, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, etc. These are drawn from a larger vocabulary than food activities or measurements. However, within the context of a single recipe, the instruction text is constrained to referring to only those ingredients specified in the ingredient list, where the simpler grammatical structure makes them easier to identify. Ingredient coreference is generally lexical it is fairly safe to assume that references to an ingredient in the instructions will match on at least one of the words describing that ingredient in the list, almost always without morphological change. There are some interesting exceptions to this; most common of these is the case where a descriptive term such as dry ingredients may be used to reference a collection of the listed ingredients e.g. flour, baking soda, and salt). Clause structures can be treated as being fairly simple for the purpose of this task. The fact that the relevant clauses are consistently imperative means there are no passive or unusual tense constructions to rer difficult the identification of food activity verbs and their direct objects ingredients). In many clauses of recipe instructions, the food activity verbs take an implied indirect object
which is the most salient ingredient or combination of ingredients in the frame of reference. For example in the following example, the second clause is instructing that the eggs should be whisked into the already combined flour, soda, and salt: Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk in eggs. The majority 70%) of clauses in the analyzed recipes have this property. III. Implementation Appix A includes the text of a Ruby program that implements recipe information extraction. It runs in Ruby 1.8.x with no additional packages. It makes use of a fledgling annotation framework also submitted) which will be made available as a gem package once it is slightly more mature) at rubyforge.org/projects/annotated/. Architecturally, this solution is composed of a tagger, a chunker, and a representation builder. The tagger and chunker are familiar abstractions for programmatic components that provide token-level and phrase-level annotations, respectively [Jurafsky and Martin]. The representation builder constructs semantic representations of each phrase, and combines these representations into a structured document-level semantic representation. A main program loads in vocabulary data and the recipe to be analyzed, and manages the flow of information between those three processing objects. These relationships are shown in the figure below the grey arrows should be interpreted as the actions of the main program). The main program is also responsible for aming the tag information to identify those activity verbs which should take an implied salient object.
Each of these objects performs a set of tasks: Tagger tagger.rb): Annotates recipe text at word level, identifying and categorizing contentful words. Within each line of the ingredient list, the tagger: Finds activity words, units, quantities, and functional words e.g. and). Tags all remaining words as ingredient words, flagged with a unique identifier for the line In the instructions, the tagger: Tags activity words Tags words that match ingredient words from the list with the matches' identifiers Chunker chunker.rb): Annotates instructions at clause level, marking boundaries within which the representation builder should work. Places boundaries after periods and semicolons.
Places boundaries before food activity verbs. Representation Builder representer.rb): Works through the clauses of the instructions sequentially, building a structured representation of the relationships between actions and ingredients. Initializes an array of available food entities by including all ingredients In each clause, identifies the food entities either basic ingredients or artifacts) to which the activity is applied Shifts those entities out of the food entities array, merges them into a new artifact entity marked with the activity, and adds this new artifact back into the array. By the of the recipe, there should be only one remaining available food entity: the completed dish. The builder can display the object structure as either text or html. The solution has been implemented to make use of an existing database of recipes and its corresponding interface. It also makes use of the Brandeis Semantic Ontology database via a Ruby API. In the interest of submitting a solution that is runnable without external data sources, the code that accompanies this paper is a modified version in which links to other frameworks and data sources have been stripped out instead, it hard-codes the information it would have extracted from the BSO and includes an example recipe to be processed. IV. Example Execution To run a demo of the solution on the Toll-House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe, use the console command 'ruby main.rb' from a directory with the solution files. The console output will show the state of the recipe content as it progresses through lexical tagging, clause chunking, salience tagging, and
then each step as the representation is built up clause-by-clause. That output is also included in Appix B. V. Future Work Although this solution performs successfully on some recipes, and has fairly high accuracy on a clauseby-clause basis, there are some situations it does not yet handle correctly and some phenomena which are not yet modeled at all. As mentioned in Section II, there are some cases in which ingredients, artifacts, or ingredient sets are referred to without a direct lexical match. In some cases, a phrase like dry ingredients is used to stand in for a number of ingredients from the recipe's list; those ingredients never get mentioned directly in the instructions. In other cases, a food artifact may suddenly be referred to by a new name e.g. dough). Most of these situations are not handled correctly. The structured representation wants for an API which could accept and answer queries like: What activities get applied to eggs in this recipe? Do the peppers get fried in this recipe? Does the flour get heated by any action in this recipe? Though the features used for determining whether clauses have an implied salient object cover the majority of cases, there are some additional features that could be included to increase accuracy. These issues will all be addressed by future work.
