In recent years, many IoT applications have been actively exploiting sophisticated DL technologies, which use neural networks to capture and understand their environments. Amazon Echo, for example, is considered to be an IoT application as it connects the physical and human world with the digital world; it can understand human voice commands using DL.
Additionally, Microsoft's Windows face-recognition security system (an IoT application) uses DL technology to perform tasks such as unlocking a door when it recognizes its user's face. DL and IoT are among the top three strategic technology trends for 2017, and were announced at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2016. The intensive publicity around DL is due to the fact that traditional machine learning algorithms do not address the emerging analytic needs of IoT systems. On the...
