Book DescriptionDiscover the incredible world of tiny Machine Learning (tinyML) and create smart projects using real-world data sensors with the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, Raspberry Pi Pico, and SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano. TinyML Cookbook, Second Edition, will show you how to build unique end-to-end ML applications using temperature, humidity, vision, audio, and accelerometer sensors in different scenarios. These projects will equip you with the knowledge and skills to bring intelligence to microcontrollers. You'll train custom models from weather prediction to real-time speech recognition using TensorFlow and Edge Impulse.Expert tips will help you squeeze ML models into tight memory budgets and accelerate performance using CMSIS-DSP. This improved edition includes new recipes featuring an LSTM neural network to recognize music genres and the Faster-Objects-More-Objects (FOMO) algorithm for detecting objects in a scene. Furthermore, you’ll work on scikit-learn model deployment on microcontrollers, implement on-device training, and deploy a model using microTVM, including on a microNPU. This beginner-friendly and comprehensive book will help you stay up to date with the latest developments in the tinyML community and give you the knowledge to build unique projects with microcontrollers!What you will learn

• Understand the microcontroller programming fundamentals
• Work with real-world sensors, such as the microphone, camera, and accelerometer
• Implement an app that responds to human voice or recognizes music genres
• Leverage transfer learning with FOMO and Keras
• Learn best practices on how to use the CMSIS-DSP library
• Create a gesture-recognition app to build a remote control
• Design a CIFAR-10 model for memory-constrained microcontrollers
• Train a neural network on microcontrollers

Who this book is for

This book is ideal for machine learning engineers or data scientists looking to build embedded/edge ML applications and IoT developers who want to add machine learning capabilities to their devices. If you’re an engineer, student, or hobbyist interested in exploring tinyML, then this book is your perfect companion. Basic familiarity with C/C++ and Python programming is a prerequisite; however, no prior knowledge of microcontrollers is necessary to get started with this book.
