IoT meets AI 2019 - IoT Protocols & Middleware by Soumya Kanti Datta (Eurecom)

Today's most successful applications of AI are enabled by massive
Machine Learning systems, especially from the domain of Deep Learning
that besides scientific progress rely on a combination of two
ingredients, computational power and huge amounts of labeled data.
Not only do these demands have an increasing impact on our environment
in terms of C02 emissions, the required labeled data amounts are a major
bottleneck which limits the applicability of Deep Learning based AI to a
broader market. Especially for the industrial domain where the data and
problems are highly domain specific, this poses a major challenge, since
the generated data can only be labeled by a few domain experts. This
fact is opposed to the common domain, where basically anybody can label
the data, e.g. decide if an image shows a cat or a dog. For this reason,
one important aspect of industrial AI is to research methodologies that
can deal with these data scarcity constraints.
