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.

Installing PyTorch

PyTorch is a popular ML library written in native Python and has built-in support for GPUs. Installing PyTorch is very similar to installing TensorFlow. You can install it via PyPI in the Create | Library menu choice. In the PyPI import library menu, put in the current version of PyPI (torch==1.1.0.post2). The installation steps are as follows:

  1. Go to https://pypi.org/ and search for PyTorch.
  2. Copy the name and version number you want in this format: torch==1.1.0.post2
  3. In the Workspace tab of Databricks, right-click anywhere and from the dropdown, click on Create and then Library.
  1. Select PyPI as the library source.
  2. Copy the name of the library and the version number and paste that into the Package section.
  3. Click Create.

If you have already created a cluster, you can attach PyTorch to it. You can also install PyTorch on all clusters.
