Tiny Federated ML for Fog Computing

FogML

Due to the development of IoT solutions, we can observe the constantly growing number of these devices in almost every aspect of our lives. The machine learning may improve increase their intelligence and smartness. Unfortunately, the highly regarded programming libraries consume to much resources to be ported to the embedded processors.

The FogML is a set of tools enabling TinyML on microcontrollers as low resource-limited as ARM M0 cores. In contrast to many other frameworks, the FogML utilises classic machine learning methods such as density-based anomaly detection and classifiers based on Bayesian networks, decision forests and vanilla MLP. In addition, it supports off-device learning for the classification problem and on-device learning for anomaly detection. The active learning anomaly detection is based on reservoir sampling and outlier detection algorithms which are trained directly on the device. The dedicated library performs the time series processing on the devices, computing the feature vector consisting of RMS, FFT, amplitude and other low-level signal metrics. One of the techniques used in FogML is source code generation of the inferencing functions for embedded devices. It leads to a much smaller memory footprint than for more computationally advanced solutions such as deep neural networks.

The structure of the project is as follows:

• the src folder contains the source code generators for machine learning models i.e.: naive bayes, decision trees/forrest and neural nets;
• the example folder contains the simple examples and the MNIST digit recognition for Arduino board and the simple TFT touchscreen.

Examples of anomaly detection and classification algorithms provided by the FogML project for embedded devices:

• FogML-SDK [https://github.com/tszydlo/fogml_sdk]

Usage

pip install fogml

Example

from sklearn import datasets, tree

from fogml.generators import GeneratorFactory

iris = datasets.load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target

clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=3456)
clf.fit(X, y)
print( 'accuracy: ',clf.score(X,y))

factory = GeneratorFactory()
generator = factory.get_generator(clf)
generator.generate()

Reinforcement Learning

import gym

from fogml.generators import GeneratorFactory
from fogml.rl.qlearning import QLearning, QStatesIntervals

env = gym.make('MountainCar-v0')

#create QStates discretizer table using QStatesIntervals()
stateSpace = [
    [-1.2, 0.6, 20],
    [-0.07, 0.07, 20]
]
qStates = QStatesIntervals(stateSpace)

#create QLearning agent
qAgent = QLearning(qStates.getStates(), env.action_space.n)

for episode in range(EPISODES):
    #TODO Train the model
    #see examples

factory = GeneratorFactory()

generatorQAgent = factory.get_generator(qAgent)
generatorQStates = factory.get_generator(qStates)

generatorQAgent.generate(fname='FogML_RL_Arduino\qlearning_model_test.c')
generatorQStates.generate(fname = 'FogML_RL_Arduino\qstates_discretizer_test.c')
