Description: Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms and models that enable computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for each task. In the context of edge computing, machine learning refers to the implementation of these models directly on local devices, such as smartphones, sensors, and other IoT devices, rather than relying on cloud servers. This allows for faster and more efficient processing, as data is analyzed at the location where it is generated, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. Additionally, edge computing enhances data privacy and security by minimizing the need to send sensitive information over the Internet. The machine learning techniques used in this context include neural networks, decision trees, and clustering algorithms, among others. The ability of these models to adapt and learn from new data in real-time is crucial for applications that require immediate and accurate responses, such as autonomous driving, health monitoring, and industrial automation.
