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.

How it works...

In this recipe, we learned how to prepare a device and development environment for developing an edge module that you can deploy your code on. The IoT Edge coding paradigm works on receiving messages, performing actions, and then sending messages. In the code for this recipe, we separated these actions into different tasks that can be run independently of each other. This allows us to perform actions such as getting and sending messages in a slow time loop and evaluating our data in a faster loop. To do this, we used asyncio, which is a library that facilitates multi-threading in Python. Once you have your code ready, you can build a Docker container and deploy that to other devices with the edge module installed or an entire fleet of devices. In the There's more... section, we will discuss how to do that.
