What is Edge Machine Learning?

Edge Machine Learning (Edge ML) is one of the most talked-about tech advancements since the Internet of Things (IoT), and for a good reason. With the rise of IoT came an explosion of Smart Devices connected to the Cloud, but the network was not yet ready to support this surge in demand. Cloud networks were congested, and companies overlooked key issues with Cloud computing, such as security. So, what is Edge ML anyway? Edge ML is a technique by which Smart Devices can process data locally (either using local servers or at the device-level) using machine and deep learning algorithms, reducing reliance on Cloud networks.
