Dataset

RecipeNLG: A Cooking Recipes Dataset for Semi-Structured Text Generation. This dataset contains 2,231,142 cooking recipes (>2 millions) with size of 2.14 GB. It's processed in more careful way.

Evaluation

Since the test set is not available, we will evaluate the model based on a shared test set. This test set consists of 5% of the whole test (= 5,000 records), and we will generate five recipes for each input(= 25,000 records). The following table summarizes the scores obtained by the Chef Transformer and RecipeNLG as our baseline.

Model	COSIM	WER	ROUGE-2	BLEU	GLEU	METEOR
RecipeNLG	0.5723	1.2125	0.1354	0.1164	0.1503	0.2309
Chef Transformer *	0.7282	0.7613	0.2470	0.3245	0.2624	0.4150

From the 5 generated recipes corresponding to each NER (food items), only the highest score was taken into account in the WER, COSIM, and ROUGE metrics. At the same time, BLEU, GLEU, Meteor were designed to have many possible references.
