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.

Chapter 2. Data Access and Distributed Processing for IoT

Data is everywhere: images, speech, text, weather information, the speed of your car, your last EMI, changing stock prices. With the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, the amount of data produced has increased many-fold; an example is sensor readings, which could be taken for room temperature, soil alkalinity, and more. This data is stored and made available in various formats. In this chapter, we will learn how to read, save, and process data in some popular formats. Specifically, you will do the following:

  • Access data in TXT format
  • Read and write csv-formatted data via the CSV, pandas, and NumPy modules
  • Access JSON data using JSON and pandas
  • Learn to work with the HDF5 format using PyTables, pandas, and h5py
  • Handle SQL databases using SQLite and MySQL
  • Handle NoSQL using MongoDB
  • Work with Hadoop's Distributed File System
