Digitalization and Visualization of Odors Using an Odor Sensor and Machine Learning
—Technique is capable of selecting "Quasi-Primary Odors" out of a dozen odors—

We have developed a technique which combines an odor sensor and machine learning that is capable of selecting reference odors out of a dozen samples of different odors.
