Overview:Predictive analytics, also known as data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI), is an increasingly popular requirement. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a data scientist to benefit from machine learning in Power BI. This session is organized in two parts:

  • Part 1 – We will revisit the existing machine learning features in Power BI, including Quick Insights, Explain Increase/Decrease, linear forecasting, integration with R and Python.
  • Part 2 – We will look at exciting new features that are coming up in near future, such as integration with Azure ML and Cognitive Services, and automated machine learning.
