Smarter Decisions - The Intersection of Internet of Things and Decision Science

By: Jojo Moolayil

Overview of this book

With an increasing number of devices getting connected to the Internet, massive amounts of data are being generated that can be used for analysis. This book helps you to understand Internet of Things in depth and decision science, and solve business use cases. With IoT, the frequency and impact of the problem is huge. Addressing a problem with such a huge impact requires a very structured approach. The entire journey of addressing the problem by defining it, designing the solution, and executing it using decision science is articulated in this book through engaging and easy-to-understand business use cases. You will get a detailed understanding of IoT, decision science, and the art of solving a business problem in IoT through decision science. By the end of this book, you’ll have an understanding of the complex aspects of decision making in IoT and will be able to take that knowledge with you onto whatever project calls for it

Preface

Neural Networks and Deep Learning


Neural networks and deep learning have been a promising area in machine learning and artificial intelligence over the last two decades. The recent growth has been phenomenal as we can see the industry using them to solve a variety of problems that were previously difficult. We have been knowingly or unknowingly using applications in our daily life that have been built using these sophisticated technologies. The Google Now, Apple's Siri, or Microsoft Cortana voice-enabled digital assistant applications have all been developed using powerful deep learning techniques. Similarly, the face detection feature that you would have noticed while uploading your photos to Facebook, real-time language translation tools, and so on have been developed using the latest and most powerful neural networks and deep learning techniques.

So what is so cool about neural networks and deep learning?

Essentially, we have always used a computer to build software and applications to...
