How this classifier works

To start, upload your image. Our AI tool will then predict what type of food it is.

This pretrained image model uses a Nyckel-created dataset and has 20 labels, including Beverage, Bread, Cereal, Condiment, Dairy, Dessert, Fruit, Grain, Herb and Legume.

We'll also show a confidence score (the higher the number, the more confident the AI model is around what type of food it is).

Whether you're just curious or building food types detection into your application, we hope our classifier proves helpful.
