“…Therefore, public opinion feedback through online reviews can serve as a supplementary form of public participation. These are real experiences and feedback of multiple senses generated by actual contact with the physical environment in daily life [71]. Consequently, online reviews have become valuable data sources.…”

The integration of multisensory-based public subjective perception into planning, management, and policymaking is of great significance for the sustainable development and protection of UGBS. Online reviews are a suitable data source for this issue, which includes information about public sentiment, perception of the physical environment, and sensory description. This study adopts the deep learning method to obtain effective information from online reviews and found that in 105 major sites of Tokyo (23 districts), the public overall perception level is not balanced. Rich multi-sense will promote the perception level, especially hearing and somatosensory senses that have a higher positive prediction effect than vision, and overall perception can start improving by optimizing these two senses. Even if only one adverse sense exists, it will seriously affect the perception level, such as bad smell and noise. Optimizing the physical environment by adding natural elements for different senses is conducive to overall perception. Sensory maps can help to quickly find areas that require improvement. This study provides a new method for rapid multisensory analysis and complementary public participation for specific situations, which helps to increase the well-being of UGBS and give play to its multi-functionality.

“…It turns out that digital social networks and digital media in general are helpful in capturing the manifestation of the 'zeitgeist', as food is richly documented and discussed in multiple formats in contemporary media [26]. The contextual knowledge contribution to the WFA is therefore also to understand food trends, including the hype foods that tend to be popular for a period of time [27], including the temporal dynamics that social media analysis offers [28]. However, this is only one aspect that the context for food space should capture.…”

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using food data in various areas of computer science. Food, as a fundamental necessity for human sustenance, undergoes complex processes from farm to fork, involving physical, biological, intellectual and emotional dimensions. The need to ensure the effective and sustainable functioning of global food systems, while addressing human and environmental challenges, necessitates the development of food computing. But the question remains: How should food computing evolve to address fundamental issues in the food systems? While global sharing of data, information andknowledge is a way forward, we propose to increase the effectiveness of this sharing by transcending narrow disciplinary boundaries and engaging a wider range of stakeholders to address practical challengesfacing human society. We argue that food computing requires a multidisciplinary approach that is expansive in both scope and effectiveness. We envision a future where food computing serves as a comprehensive computational infrastructure for all aspects of food, including its production, consumption, and impact on individuals and the environment. The field of Food Computing is highly relevant to Digital Humanities (DH) researchers. By actively engaging in this area, DH researchers can make substantial contributions and shape the trajectory of future food systems, taking into account the intricate interplay of cultural, social and ethical complexities.

Purpose of Review Sensory evaluation holds vital significance in the food sector. Typically, humans conduct sensory analysis. Humans, being the ultimate consumers, assess food traits effectively. However, human judgment is influenced by various factors. Hence, countering subjectivity is crucial for objective evaluation while retaining hedonic insights. Recent Findings Food’s sensory assessment primarily employs humans. Various techniques differentiate, depict, or rank food. Modern sensory tools, aiming to enhance objectivity and reliability, are emerging to supplement or supplant human assessment. This advance can bolster quality, consistency, and safety by mimicking human senses such as smell, taste, and vision, mitigating risks tied to human assessors. Summary This paper provides a review about sensory analysis of food using technological methodologies. A review of different technological tools to analyze sensory characteristics of food, as well as a discussion of how those technological tools can relate to humans’ perception of food is presented.
