To help perfect the flavors of the innovative foods, Mr. Maire has a new assistant chef in the form of Sam, an artificial intelligence robot.Along with a team of flavorists, Sam helps blend a huge group of flavors fo
37、r clients. In humans the sense of taste stems from multiple receptors (感受器) that are ready to make our brains aware of the nature of any possible food we encounter. Sam lacks this sense of taste, but it has been trained on a database of ingredients gathered over 60 years at the company of Firmenich,
38、 a business with a perfume industry origin stretching back to 1895.

Eric Saracchi runs the digital side of Firmenich. “Fla
39、vors are more complex than perfumes,” he says, “and Sam had to understand what a strawberry is or how roasted beef hits the tongue, before finding matches between tastes and foodstuffs (食品).”One big advantage of an AI robot is that it has no cognitive bias (认知偏见). This lack of human prejudices helps
40、 Firmenich to get past any unconscious leaning of the flavorists. The objectivity of Sam, lacking influences that can affect even the most professional of flavorists, allows it to work at speed. “It adds value by combining the knowledge of all the other flavorists here,” says Saracchi.The machine ra

45、 that even with all the technological wonders in the world, its still a challenge to predict the weather?_17_A lot of data from different sources, like satellites, are accumulated and analyzed. Powerful computers use this data to make predictions. The idea of using numerical analysis to predict the
46、weather originated in the 1920s with Lewis Fry Richardsons writings. Later, with the help of supercomputers, this became a more practical approach.Weather forecasts often go wrong, but not quite as often as you might think.

47、re always inaccurate. A five-day forecast is actually pretty accurate _18_For a seven-day forecast, the numbers go down to about 80%. But add more days and the uncertainty necessarily builds. These numbers are also much better than what they used to be. _19_To determine the state of the atmosphere a
48、t any point, and therefore make a forecast, several different changes must be taken into account. _20_The changes are used as initial conditions that can be fed into mathematical models. The models are designed based on patterns in historical data and the typical behavior of weather. Advancements in data collection and the processing power of computers also help explain why forecasts today have improved so dramatic
