What’s in my Dish? ? Extracting Food Information Through Mobile Crowdsourcing

This paper presents the results of research work performed at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) evaluating crowdsourcing approaches for the acquisition of nutrition-related information. In particular, using an online crowdsourcing survey, we aimed at assessing the usability and user acceptance of a set of interaction options applied in different user-supported tasks in the context of semi-automated acquisition of food-related information with smartphones. In this context, the survey also explored the participants’ attitudes towards food-related information and corresponding mobile applications.
