This episode of TechTalk is broadcast all the way from the Channel 9 Studio in Redmond with Olivia Klose and our special guest Seth Juarez - known to some of you for his sessions on machine learning at AzureCon 2014 or TechEd Europe.

Seth and Olivia skip the typical introduction of machine learning, since there is already plenty of content on that, e.g. Azure Machine Learning with Corporate Vice President Joseph Sirosh or Machine Learning on Azure or Was haben Kühe und die Titanic mit Machine Learning zu tun? (German). Instead, the focus of this episode is on the most common machine learning algorithms: perceptron, support vector machines, decision trees and neural networks. We will explain what each algorithm means and does using fancy visualisations.

And final note: Sign up for the upcoming Technical Summit in November - the biggest Microsoft conference in Germany for developer and IT professionals! More information under http://www.technical-summit.de
