Deep Learning Practices and Challenges in IoT ~ Realization of Intelligent Networks~
Abstract
Preferred Networks Inc. (PFN) is a Tokyo-based startup, focusing on applying latest deep learning research to emerging problems in the Internet of Things (IoT).
Intelligent industrial robots (*1), and autonomous robot car control demonstration in CES2016 (*2) show some of the advanced technologies developed in collaboration with world-leading partners such as FANUC and Toyota.
"How to make networks intelligents?" is a key challenge that PFN has been focusing on since its inception. In our session, we introduce some deep learning applications in IoT, focusing on "intelligent networks" aspect.
By focusing especially on the communication network implementation, we will discuss how we can introduce "Intelligence" to the network as whole, rather than enhancing the network devices only.
Based on the above applications, we will discuss some of the problems and expectations in IoT from the network technology perspective. Below are some examples of discussion topics:
- The limitations of current network technology. Expectations for next generation technologies such as 5G and LPWA.
- Standardization of various IoT connectivity specifications, and their applications.
We hope that the session will trigger some meaningful discussions around the future of IoT applications.
