MADIMA

The main scope of MADiMa2023 is to bring together researchers from the diverse fields of engineering, computer science and nutrition who investigate the use of information and communication technologies for better monitoring, assessment, and management of food intake. The combined use of multimedia, machine learning algorithms, ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies permits the development of applications and systems able to monitor the dietary behavior, analyze food intake, identify eating patterns, and provide feedback to the user towards healthier nutrition. The researchers will present and demonstrate their latest progress and discuss novel ideas in the field. Besides the technologies used, emphasis will be given to the precise problem definition, the available nutritional databases, the need for benchmarking multimedia databases of packed and unpacked food and the evaluation protocols.
