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 5. Genetic Algorithms for IoT

In the previous chapter, we looked at different deep learning-based algorithms; these algorithms have shown their success in the fields of recognition, detection, reconstruction, and even in the generation of vision, speech, and text data. While, at present, deep learning (DL) is on top in terms of both application and employability, it has close competition with evolutionary algorithms. The algorithms are inspired by the natural process of evolution, the world's best optimizers. Yes, even we are the result of years of genetic evolution. In this chapter, you will be introduced to the fascinating world of evolutionary algorithms and learn about a specific type of evolutionary algorithm, genetic algorithms, in more detail. In this chapter, you will learn about the following:

  • What is optimization
  • Different methods to solve an optimization problem
  • Understand the intuition behind genetic algorithms
  • The advantages of genetic algorithms
  • Understand and implement...
