Abstract
Self-reported dietary assessments are prone to measurement errors, affecting nutrient profile accuracy. This study introduces METRIC, a deep-learning approach leveraging gut microbial compositions to correct random errors in self-reported dietary assessments. METRIC demonstrates excellent performance in minimizing simulated random errors, particularly for nutrients metabolized by gut bacteria, across synthetic and real-world datasets. Even without gut microbial compositions, METRIC shows good correction performance. Further research is needed to assess METRIC's utility in correcting actual measurement errors.
