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.

Coding setup

Now, create a new IoT Edge project. To do this, open Visual Studio and install the Azure IoT Edge extension, as well as the Docker extension. Then, using Ctrl + Shift + P, open the command window, type Azure IoT Edge: into the Search bar, and select Azure IoT Edge: New IoT Edge Solution:

Once you've done this, you will see a wizard that asks you to name the project. Then, the wizard will have you add a module. A project can have numerous modules that do different tasks. These modules can be written in different languages or use Azure Machine Learning Services to incorporate prebuilt models on that platform. In our case, we are making a custom Python module. It will then ask you for the location of the Azure Container Registry for the module, so provide the location as required, as shown in the following screenshot:

 

From here, we can develop against the Raspberry Pi. One thing to note on developing machine learning on a Raspberry Pi is that tasks such as...
