Topic

Deep Learning for IoT

Abstract

When people talk about Artificial Intelligence, they usually tend to think about self driving cars, robots, and drones. There has been a lot of debate on how we are building super-intelligent machines that will take over the world soon. Basically, the discussion has been limited to first world problems! Deep Learning is a paradigm within Artificial Intelligence that deals with extracting wisdom from data using neural networks. Given the recent advances in computing, Deep Learning now has a chance to play an extremely important role in solving some of the most pressing problems faced by our society today. With the evolution of technologies centered on Internet of Things and connected sensors, we have the power to reach every corner of the world. Within Deep Learning, we will be focusing on Sequence Learning that enables computers to think and learn on their own based on sequential measurements obtained from internet-connected sensors. It can be used to solve some of the most challenging problems like water wastage, energy consumption, or infrastructure breakdown that's impacting billions of people around the world.
