Problem Description

The problem involves extracting ingredients and cookware from a corpus of unstructured recipe text files using machine learning.

Proposed Solutions

• Option A: Utilize Vertex AI's AutoML entity extraction by creating a text dataset, defining "ingredient" and "cookware" entities, labeling examples, training a model, and evaluating performance.
• Option B: Employ multi-label text classification on Vertex AI, creating a dataset, labeling recipes with ingredients and cookware, training a model, and evaluating it.
• Option C: Leverage the Natural Language API's Entity Analysis to extract ingredients and cookware, evaluating performance on a pre-labeled dataset.
• Option D: Create a Vertex AI text dataset with entities for each ingredient and cookware, train an AutoML entity extraction model, and evaluate its performance.

Suggested Solution

The suggested answer is Option A, which uses Vertex AI's AutoML entity extraction. This approach is preferred due to its efficiency and effectiveness in handling the entity extraction task from unstructured text.
