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 8. Distributed AI for IoT

The advances in distributed computing environments and an easy availability of internet worldwide has resulted in the emergence of Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). In this chapter, we will learn about two frameworks, one by Apache the machine learning library (MLlib), and another H2O.ai, both provide distributed and scalable machine learning (ML) for large, streaming data. The chapter will start with an introduction to Apache's Spark, the de facto distributed data processing system. This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Spark and its importance in distributed data processing
  • Understanding the Spark architecture
  • Learning about MLlib
  • Using MLlib in your deep learning pipeline
  • Delving deep into the H2O.ai platform
