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.

Using autoencoders to detect anomalies in labeled data

If you have labeled data, you can train a model to detect whether the data is normal or abnormal. For example, reading the current of an electric motor can show when extra drag is put on the motor by such things as failing ball bearings or other failing hardware. In IoT, anomalies can be a previously known phenomenon or a new event that has not been seen before. As the name suggests, autoencoders take in data and encode it to an output. With anomaly detection, we see whether a model can determine whether data is non-anomalous. In this recipe, we are going to use a Python object detection library called pyod.
