Artificial Intelligence for IoT Cookbook

By: Michael Roshak

Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly finding practical applications across a wide variety of industry verticals, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of them. Developers are looking for ways to make IoT devices smarter and to make users’ lives easier. With this AI cookbook, you’ll be able to implement smart analytics using IoT data to gain insights, predict outcomes, and make informed decisions, along with covering advanced AI techniques that facilitate analytics and learning in various IoT applications. Using a recipe-based approach, the book will take you through essential processes such as data collection, data analysis, modeling, statistics and monitoring, and deployment. You’ll use real-life datasets from smart homes, industrial IoT, and smart devices to train and evaluate simple to complex models and make predictions using trained models. Later chapters will take you through the key challenges faced while implementing machine learning, deep learning, and other AI techniques, such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and embedded machine learning for building smart IoT systems. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to deploy models and improve their performance with ease. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end AI apps and apply best practice solutions to common IoT problems.

Getting ready

Before we start, it's important to know how the components work with each other. Let's start with workspaces. The workspace area is where you can share results between data scientists and engineers through the use of Databricks notebooks. Notebooks can interoperate with the filesystem in Databricks to store Parquet or Delta Lake files. The workspaces section also stores files such as Python libraries and JAR files. In the workspaces section, you can create folders to store shared files. I typically create a packages folder to store the Python and JAR files. Before we install the Python packages, let's first examine what a cluster is by going to the cluster section.

In your Databricks instance, go to the Clusters menu. You can create a cluster or use a cluster that has already been created. With clusters, you specify the amount of compute needed. Spark can work over large datasets but also work with GPUs for ML-optimized workloads. Some clusters have ML tools...
