Internet of Things (IoT) mainly focuses on how to enable general objects to see, hear, and smell the physical world for themselves, and make them connected to share the observations. These often require the use of sensors providing high-frequency streaming data. In this talk, we would discuss how one can leverage these high-frequency sensor data for IoT analytics.

There are primarily 3 building blocks for a quality analysis of high-frequency sensor data. These building blocks comprise of:

• Data engineering techniques to ingest and store high-velocity data and providing a fail-safe mechanism to avoid data loss. These involve configuring BigData machines for successful real-time storing as well as configuring messaging queues for streaming data.

• Feature engineering and development of supervised and unsupervised models using high-velocity data. Feature engineering is crucial for extracting maximum value from data. Additionally, one must also understand the intricacies of different algorithms/modelling methodologies for correct selection of methodology.

• Implementing models in real time. One can build a high precision model but if it’s not implementable it’s of no use. One has to configure the systems to correctly ingest models for perfect execution.

Key takeaways:

The following are the key takeaways from the talk.

• Understanding BigData machines and messaging queues
• Techniques for good feature engineering
• Variable reduction techniques
• How to choose between models – parameters for selection
• Implementation challenges and solutions
