Study Notes

Data Access for IoT

The main purpose of Data Access for IoT is to enable efficient and seamless data exchange between devices and applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.

Data Formats

Text Format is considered the simplest format to use due to its human-readable nature and ease of implementation.
In CSV Format, an escape character is used to distinguish between column separators and actual data values, ensuring accurate data parsing.
The name 'CSV Format' might be considered misleading, as it stands for Comma Separated Values, but other separators like semicolons or tabs can also be used.
The Python module 'csv' has limitations in handling CSV format, such as performance issues with large files and limited customization options.

Data Handling

Data producers must share the same storage and produce data at very high throughput sometimes to ensure real-time processing and analysis of massive data volumes.
The Python module 'numpy' supports csv format but can handle only numeric values.

Data Formats in Practice

Excel files (xlsx) are one of the most popular formats for data and require the use of third-party packages like OpenPyXl or pandas in Python.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the most commonly used data format in web and mobile applications due to its lightweight, human-readable, and language-independent nature.

Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can learn and improve from experience by feeding more data to the algorithm.
In supervised learning, the model learns the relationship between input data (X) and expected output (Y) from a given set of paired data.
Unsupervised learning is typically used for data exploration, pattern discovery, and anomaly detection.
The goal of regression in a given input-output pair (x, y) is to predict the continuous output value based on the input data.
IoT devices generate a vast amount of data, which can help ML algorithms get more accurate results by providing more training data.
