Applied AI Weekly News

Justin Grammens

Welcome Artificial Intelligence & Internet of Things Weekly Readers!

This past week has been another one of exciting new things going on at the intersection of AI and IoT. Each day I'm reading and diving deeper into this world of more and more intelligent objects working their way into our lives. The world of business and our personal lives is truly is changing right before us. To this point, I have written a blog post on how to apply Machine Learning at the edge using TensorFlow Lite.

Come work with me! I'm actively looking to hire an Android Engineer to help our team a number of projects at Lab651. Do you have experience and are ready to step up and expand your experience? Besides Android Engineering, we have a number of other positions available as well. Apply today and to join the team at Lab651!

If you haven't yet signed up the Nvidia GTC 20201 is going on next week! Sessions are free and there looks to be some amazing presentations on a wide range of what's going on in AI. I'm totally stoked for this event and look for me to be covering some of the sessions and items I learn in future AIoT / IoT Weekly issues!

On other news, I'll be leading a panel on Emerging Technology and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the Minnesota Entrepreneur Kickoff. The title of the session is "Applying AI In New and Remarkable Ways". Register today!

Thanks again for subscribing to IoT / AIoT Weekly News and being a part of our community. I am truly blessed to be working in an area that I'm very passionate about and excited to learn about. If you want to continue to stay engaged with me and our community please attend an upcoming Meetup that I run, called Applied AI. We will be publishing our May 6th meetup soon.

The AI/IoT Convergence Is a Game-Changer for Fleet Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things (IoT) are gradually becoming a constant presence in many technological applications. Both drive rapid innovation in industries ranging from healthcare to manufacturing and transportation. The path carved by recent impacts in AI-development especially has made way for unprecedented growth in the fleet management industry.

Bongjun Kim - Sound Recognition and Audio Signal Processing with Machine Learning

If you ever wondered how Alexa, Siri, Google can be trained to recognize and process audio, this is the episode for you! In this episode, we speak with Bongjun Kim. Bongjun is an AI researcher at 3M. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Northwestern University and his research interests include Machine Learning, Audio Signal Processing (e.g. sound event recognition), interactive intelligent systems, multimedia information retrieval, and human-in-the-loop interfaces.

We First Need to Understand How the Brain Works if We Want True AI

Neuroscientist and tech entrepreneur Jeff Hawkins claims he’s figured out how intelligence works—and he wants every AI lab in the world to know about it.

What is AIoT? Applying AI to IoT Data

What is AIoT? It’s the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). IoT is about connecting people to things in the world via networks. AI collects techniques for training computers to understand novel data based on models of similar data. AIoT is a term that has cropped up recently to describe the convergence of IoT and AI systems on a shared goal: generating useful data about the world (IoT) and drawing insights from those data (AI).

Understanding the Importance of Digital Twin and its Applications

NASA was the first to leverage the digital twin technology when Michael mentioned the possibility of creating digital representations of physical systems that had their own entity during a talk with John Vickers, NASA’s Director of Technology. The key objective was to devise a solution that can enable it to mend or update or check on a machine in outer space where it is practically impossible to be physically present at any given point in time.
