Machine Learning APIs power a more intelligent Internet of Things at the Edge

The Internet of Things is the evolution of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology and is the interconnection of devices and management platforms. Some IoT devices see, while others listen, sense, monitor, and/or control. A few are even capable of near-human-like interaction. In many cases these devices are continuously capturing and processing a lot of data that only gets used once before being archived in some sort of log-file or even dumped. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the data often has a very short shelf-life, and it isn't always needed for historical reporting as much as it is needed for generating timely insights and alerts.
