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.

ML and IoT


ML, a subset of artificial intelligence, aims to build computer programs with an ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. In this age of big data, with data being generated at break-neck speed, it isn't humanly possible to go through all of the data and understand it manually. According to an estimate by Cisco, a leading company in the field of IT and networking, IoT will generate 400 zettabytes of data a year by 2018. This suggests that we need to look into automatic means of understanding this enormous data, and this is where ML comes in.
