Summary
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to scale across industries—from healthcare and smart homes to autonomous systems, the demand for intelligent, real-time data processing at the edge has grown exponentially. However, most edge devices are severely constrained in terms of memory, processing power, and energy availability. Traditional machine learning models, while powerful, are too resource-intensive for these environments, making it nearly impossible to deploy accurate, low-latency analytics directly on edge hardware. This creates a critical bottleneck for IoT applications that require rapid, autonomous decision-making without relying on cloud connectivity.
Our solution introduces a hybrid machine learning model specifically engineered for resource-constrained IoT edge devices. By combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, Decision Trees (DT) for interpretability, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) for robust accuracy, the model delivers high-performance classification with minimal computational overhead. It uniquely integrates hyperparameter tuning and a lightweight ensemble voting mechanism to ensure both energy efficiency and predictive accuracy. Tested across five real-world datasets, the model consistently outperforms conventional approaches while reducing feature dimensions by over 50%. This innovation bridges the gap between ML performance and edge-device limitations, making it a standout solution for scalable, intelligent IoT deployment.
