Pipeline For Calculating Calories For Print Recipes With Minimal User Intervention, Karl W. Holten
Pipeline For Calculating Calories For Print Recipes With Minimal User Intervention, Karl W. Holten
Theses and Dissertations
The thesis will provide a pipeline to estimate calorie counts from print recipes. The pipeline takes scanned recipes from cookbooks and uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert the scanned images of recipes to text. Several OCR tools were tested for their accuracy on fractions using a sample of the data, and the most accurate tool is used on the data. Next, a specially trained named entity recognition model is used to identify ingredients, quantities and units. These ingredients are used to search a database of values from the FDA to compute a calorie count for the recipe. The thesis …

Resident Doctor Duty Shift Scheduling In Tarragona, Spain, Anna Daniel Fuentes
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this thesis is to create a computer algorithm to schedule family care resident doctors’ duty shifts in Tarragona, Spain. The algorithm considers European Working Time Directive regulations which limit the number of hours any worker can work in a year. Furthermore, each health center has different work time and staffing requirements, and the medical training program requirements change based on a resident’s level of experience also known as rank of residency. Fair scheduling is essential to healthcare workers’ rights to have time to recover between shifts while satisfying all the training requirements and regulations. Integer programming is …
