Food is essential for human life and it is fundamental to the human experience. Selecting right food at a right place in right situation is very important, but a challenging problem. Food recommendation must consider the personal food model, analyzing unique food characteristics, incorporating various contexts and food related domain knowledge. Each of these is a challenge for multimedia computing. In this presentation, we will discuss technical challenges and opportunities for addressing food recommendation to make people happy and healthy. Recent progress in multimodal computing makes it possible to start addressing this important problem for all of us at personal level. We will discuss our ideas considering some concrete emerging approaches for building multimodal personal food recommendation systems.
