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.

Introducing H2O.ai


H2O is a fast, scalable ML and deep learning framework developed by H2O.ai, released under the open source Apache license. According to the company-provided details, more than 9,000 organizations and 80,000+ data scientists use H2O for their ML/deep learning needs. It uses in-memory compression, which allows it to handle a large amount of data in memory, even with a small cluster of machines. It has an interface for R, Python, Java, Scala, and JavaScript, and even has a built-in web interface. H2O can run in standalone mode, and on Hadoop or Spark cluster. 

H2O includes a large number of ML algorithms like generalized linear modeling, Naive Bayes, random forest, gradient boosting, and deep learning algorithms. The best part of H2O is that one can build thousands of models, compare the results, and even do hyperparameter tuning with a few lines of codes. H2O also has better data preprocessing tools.

H2O requires Java, so, ensure that Java is installed on your system. You...
