Intelligent Edge Computing Platform with Machine Learning Capability

An edge computing platform with machine learning capability is provided between a local network with a plurality of sensors and a remote network. A machine learning model is created and trained in the remote network using aggregated sensor data and deployed to the edge platform. Before being deployed, the model is edge-converted (“edge-ified”) to run optimally with the constrained resources of the edge device and with the same or better level of accuracy. The “edge-ified” model is adapted to operate on continuous streams of sensor data in real-time and produce inferences. The inferences can be used to determine actions to take in the local network without communication to the remote network. A closed-loop arrangement between the edge platform and remote network provides for periodically evaluating and iteratively updating the edge-based model.
