An Automated Data Engineering Pipeline for Anomaly Detection of IoT Sensor Data

Abstract: The rapid development in the field of System of Chip (SoC) technology, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence has brought more possibilities of improving and solving the current problems. With data analytics and the use of machine learning/deep learning, it is made possible to learn the underlying patterns and make decisions based on what was learned from massive data generated from IoT sensors. When combined with cloud computing, the whole pipeline can be automated, and free of manual controls and operations. In this paper, an implementation of an automated data engineering pipeline for anomaly detection of IoT sensor data is studied and proposed. The process involves the use of IoT sensors, Raspberry Pis, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and multiple machine learning techniques with the intent to identify anomalous cases for the smart home security system.
