1. A cooktop appliance comprising:
a camera assembly directed at a cooktop surface;
a mass sensor assembly configured to measure a mass of at least one object on the cooktop surface;
a thermal sensor assembly configured to measure a temperature of the at least one object; and
a controller in operable communication with the camera assembly, the mass sensor assembly, and the thermal sensor assembly, the controller configured to initiate one or more result inference operations comprising:
accessing an image signal from the camera assembly, the image signal comprising an image of the at least one object;
accessing a mass signal from the mass sensor assembly, the mass signal comprising the mass of the at least one object;
accessing a temperature signal from the thermal sensor assembly, the temperature signal comprising the temperature of the at least one object;
generating an inferred cooking result based at least in part on a machine-learned model that is configured to perform operations on an input comprising the image signal, the mass signal, and the temperature signal, the inferred cooking result comprising an inferred image of the at least one object as it is predicted to appear after a recommended cooking time at a recommended temperature.
