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 6. Reinforcement Learning for IoT

Reinforcement learning (RL) is very different from both supervised and unsupervised learning. It's the way most living beings learn—interacting with the environment. In this chapter, we'll study different algorithms employed for RL. As you progress through the chapter, you'll do the following:

  • Learn what RL is and how it's different from supervised learning and unsupervised learning
  • Lear different elements of RL
  • Learn about some fascinating applications of RL in the real world
  • Understand the OpenAI interface for training RL agents
  • Learn about Q-learning and use it to train an RL agent
  • Learn  about Deep Q-Networks and employ them to train an agent to play Atari
  • Learn about the policy gradient algorithm and use it to
