Artificial intelligence is gaining traction in areas of social responsibility. From climate change to social polarization to epidemics, humankind has been seeking new solutions to these ever-present problems. Deep learning (DL) techniques have increased in power in recent years, with algorithms already exhibiting tremendous possibilities in domains such as scientific research, agriculture, smart cities, finance, healthcare, conservation, the environment, industry and more. Innovative ideas using appropriate DL frameworks are now actively employed for the development of and delivering a positive impact on smart cities and societies. This book highlights the importance of specific frameworks such as IoT-enabled frameworks or serverless cloud frameworks that are applying DL techniques for solving persistent societal problems. It addresses the challenges of DL implementation, computation time, and the complexity of reasoning and modelling different types of data. In particular, the book explores and emphasises techniques involved in DL such as image classification, image enhancement, word analysis, human-machine emotional interfaces and the applications of these techniques for smart cities and societal problems. To extend the theoretical description, the book is enhanced through case studies, including those implemented using tensorflow2 and relevant IoT-specific sensor/actuator frameworks. The broad coverage will be essential reading not just to advanced students and academic researchers but also to practitioners and engineers looking to deliver an improved society and global health.
