Soft Computing and Sensory Analysis-Session @ IFSA-EUSFLAT 2015 (Intl. Joint Softcomputing Conference)

The aim of this special session is to discuss and disseminate the most recent advancements focused on Sensory Analysis supported by Soft Computing techniques, making emphasis on advance knowledge-based systems endowed with the capability to handle the inherent uncertainty and imprecision of such analysis. The session goes on with a previous special session we organized at IPMU 2014. The topics of interest of this special session include (but are not limited to):

• Quality assessment of food and non-food products
• Sensory evaluation practices (descriptive analysis, affective testing, etc.)
• Analysis of expert panel or consumer data
• Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of subjective measurements
• Expert knowledge elicitation
• Cooperation between expert knowledge and data mining
• Management of uncertainty in sensometry
• Computing with sensory perceptions
• Modeling global quality of products
• Decision making based on qualitative sensory analysis
• Marketing supported by sensory analysis
• Human-centric design of products guided by sensory analysis

The organizers,

+ Cécile Coulon-Leroy, Laboratoire GRAPPE, École Supérieure d'Agriculture d'Angers, France (c.coulon@groupe-esa.com)
