A matter of taste: Electronic tongue reveals AI inner thoughts

A recently developed electronic tongue is capable of identifying differences in similar liquids, such as milk with varying water content; diverse products, including soda types and coffee blends; signs of spoilage in fruit juices; and instances of food safety concerns. The team, led by researchers at Penn State, also found that results were even more accurate when artificial intelligence (AI) used its own assessment parameters to interpret the data generated by the electronic tongue.

Keynote speaker Sossina M. Haile, Murphy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and professor of applied physics at Northwestern University
