Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for IoT - Second Edition

By: Amita Kapoor

Overview of this book

There are many applications that use data science and analytics to gain insights from terabytes of data. These apps, however, do not address the challenge of continually discovering patterns for IoT data. In Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for IoT, we cover various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and its implementation to make your IoT solutions smarter. This book starts by covering the process of gathering and preprocessing IoT data gathered from distributed sources. You will learn different AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing to build smart IoT systems. You will also leverage the power of AI to handle real-time data coming from wearable devices. As you progress through the book, techniques for building models that work with different kinds of data generated and consumed by IoT devices such as time series, images, and audio will be covered. Useful case studies on four major application areas of IoT solutions are a key focal point of this book. In the concluding chapters, you will leverage the power of widely used Python libraries, TensorFlow and Keras, to build different kinds of smart AI models. By the end of this book, you will be able to build smart AI-powered IoT apps with confidence.

Computing in the cloud


Applying AI algorithms to IoT-generated data requires computing resources. With the availability of a large number of cloud platforms offering service at competitive prices, cloud computing offers a cost-effective solution. Out of the many cloud platforms available today, we will talk about three main cloud platform providers that occupy the majority of the market share: Amazon Web Service (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure.

AWS

Amazon offers almost every feature under the cloud, from a cloud database, to cloud computing resources, to even cloud analytics. It even provides space to build a secure data lake. Its IoT core allows users to connect devices to the cloud. It provides a single dashboard that can be used to control the services you sign for. It charges per hour for its services. It has been offering these services for almost 15 years. Amazon continuously upgrades the service providing a better user experience. You can learn more about AWS...
