Teaching a computer to smell (or: smellovision, here we come).

“In short, the paper validates the idea that it’s now possible to apply machine learning to quantify, digitize, and engineer scent. A core problem preventing us from digitizing scent is something that the other senses already have – a map. RGB is a three-dimensional map of all colors, and low- to high-frequency is a one-dimensional map that lets you describe any sound and transmit any song. Scent has never had a map.” ~ learn more
