Preprocessing Taste Data for Deep Neural Networks

Analyzing wine using taste data is a promising field due to the explosive expansion of online commerce. However, because of the wide variety of wine types with different flavors and aromas, it is difficult for consumers to choose the wine that suits their taste, and also difficult for sellers to recommend appropriate wines to consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to numerically analyze and classify wine, and a deep learning algorithm which mimics the human brain is appropriate for analyzing the wine data [1]. In this paper, we introduce several studies of wine classification using deep learning architectures and propose preprocessing methods for applying the taste data of wine to deep learning networks.
