Smart cooking support system based on interaction reproducing model

This paper presents a novel idea for a smart cooking support system. The system is controlled by an Interaction Reproducing Model (IRM) that adjusts the system output to reproduce ideal interactions between the system and the users, and appropriate advice is provided at the appropriate time. This mechanism is based on the idea that simulation of past interactions between human test subjects and the IRM give the IRM-based support system the ability to provide good supports to the current user. Within this framework, we developed a prototype cooking support system and conducted preliminary experiments. The results show that the system provides supports appropriate to the user's skill level.
