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 3. Machine Learning for IoT

The term machine learning (ML) refers to computer programs that can automatically detect meaningful patterns in data and improve with experience. Though it isn't a new field, it's presently at the peak of its hype cycle. This chapter introduces the reader to standard ML algorithms and their applications in the field of IoT.

After reading this chapter, you will know about the following:

  • What ML is and the role it plays in the IoT pipeline
  • Supervised and unsupervised learning paradigms
  • Regression and how to perform linear regression using TensorFlow and Keras
  • Popular ML classifiers and implementing them in TensorFlow and Keras
  • Decision trees, random forests, and techniques to perform boosting and how to write code for them
  • Tips and tricks to improve the system performance and model limitations
