Epicure

Epicure trains a family of multilingual ingredient embeddings from scratch on 4.14 million recipes aggregated from 11 sources across seven languages, with raw ingredient strings normalized to 1,790 canonical entries via an LLM-augmented pipeline. It ships three skip-gram (Metapath2Vec) variants that share architecture but differ in what they walk: recipe co-occurrence only, chemical-compound structure from FlavorDB only, or a blend of both, placing each model at a different point on the chemistry-versus-recipe-context spectrum. The result is a compact, downloadable map of the emergent geometry of food, a clean reminder that representation learning generalizes well beyond text into surprisingly everyday domains.
