 Physik\n Location:\n  Name: Institut für Kern- und Teilchenphysik\, TU Dr

 ncreasing complexity of modern HEP data analysis\, multivariate analysis t
 echniques have proven an indispensable tool for extracting the most valuab
 le information from the data. Nevertheless even popular techniques like ne
 ural networks and boosted decision trees are often still met with sceptici
 sm and treated as a \"black box\". In this talk I will give an accessible 
 introduction to neural networks and boosted decision trees\, aiming at a m
 ore profound understanding for the common user in physics analysis. I will
  also briefly introduce TMVA\, the Toolkit for Multivariate Data Analysis 
 in ROOT\, which provides a large variety of advanced multivariate analysis
  techniques for both signal/ background classification and regression prob
 lems. The talk will be followed by a hands-on TMVA tutorial on Friday.
