Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid invasive weed optimization method for generating healthy meals starting from a given user profile, a diet recommendation, and a set of food offers. The method proposed is based on a hybrid model which consists of a core component and two hybridization components. The core component is based on the invasive weed optimization algorithm, and the hybridization components rely on PSO-based path relinking as well as on tabu search and reinforcement learning. The method proposed has been integrated into an experimental prototype and evaluated on various user profiles.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Even if, according to formulae (1) and (2), a solution is a set of food offers (one for breakfast, another one for lunch, etc.), each of which being a set of food items, in what follows in the rest of the paper, we will consider a solution as a flat set of food items (for simplicity reasons).
