Take It to the Edge: Classification and Cloud Connectivity

Many times, we focus on performing machine learning locally on-device, with no need for internet connectivity. This reduces latency, simplifies projects, and can sometimes reduce costs. However, some projects do require connectivity to the cloud in order to set a status, update a dashboard, log an activity or event, or allow a user to interact with a device. This month we're highlighting two example projects that use Edge Impulse plus Blues Wireless to send data to the cloud.

Follow the steps to complete this activity and be entered into our giveaway to win December's prize bundle - a Blues Starter Kit and Edge Impulse Swag.

1. In machine learning projects, using Transfer learning allows you to:*

Take an existing model and fine-tune it with your own data to classify to the labels you care aboutCreate a net-new model that has no existing layers in order to maximize training timeRemove existing data from a trained model in order to run it fasterNone of the above

2. A Mel Filterbank Energy (MFE) block is great for processing what type of machine learning data?*

Voice audioNon-voice audioColor depthImage features

3. Once the Edge Impulse CLI is installed, this command will launch the service to login and connect a Raspberry Pi to the Studio:*
