Microsoft Bing beats Google in World Cup predictions

Bing was 15 for 15 in picking the winners of each knockout match

Microsoft is using data like the teams’ records, strength of schedule, margin of victory in past matches, whether the location gives a particular team a home field advantage, and the influence of factors including weather and type of playing surface.

Microsoft managed to edge Google in terms of World Cup predictions. Google also used its own technology to pick match outcomes and finished 14 of 15.

Primer on Power BI -- MarkTabhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/mvpawardprogram/archive/2014/08/04/primer-on-power-bi-business-intelligence.aspx

AbstractThis presentation includes a complex business analytics solution using elements across the Microsoft Business Intelligence technology. This talk will not have all the steps spelled out. Therefore you should prepare -- for example, by looking at the SQL Server 2014 Developer Kit -- since attendees will be expected to have working knowledge of SQL Server relational database, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, SSMS and SSDT. At the end of the demonstration, you will be expected to participate in groups to promote one idea which builds on the demo, and everyone will be voting for their favorite groups. Come ready to create and celebrate your peers.
