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.

Adapting IoT for smart cities and the necessary steps


Building a smart city is not a one-day business, neither is it the work of one person or organization. It requires the collaboration of many strategic partners, leaders, and even citizens. The dynamics of such a collaboration is beyond the scope of this book, but, since the book is for AI enthusiasts and engineers, let's explore what the AI community can do, what are the areas that provide us with a career or entrepreneurship opportunity. Any IoT platform will necessarily require the following:

  • A network of smart things (sensors, cameras, actuators, and so on) for gathering data
  • Field (cloud) gateways that can gather the data from low power IoT devices, store it, and forward it securely to the cloud
  • Streaming data processor for aggregating numerous data streams and distributing them to a data lake and control applications
  • A data lake for storing all the raw data, even the ones that seem of no value yet
  • A data warehouse that can clean and structure...
