Investigating the Ability of Large Language Models to Analyze Recipes for Diabetes

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.03967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Several studies have evaluated the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) for meal planning, yielding positive outcomes. These models can process natural language inputs and leverage learned knowledge from their pretraining to generate meal plans. In this work, we investigate the ability of LLMs to analyze the suitability of given recipes for diabetes. The primary challenge for LLMs is to retrieve relevant dietary guidelines for diabetes, decompose recipes into ingredients and cooking methods, and apply these guidelines to determine the recipe's suitability. To study these challenges, we employ three kinds of prompts namely, (i) Direct Query Prompt (ii) Context-Guided Prompt, and (iii) Exemplary Context Prompt that incorporate different leve
