                      | Objectives | 
                      Students master foundational concepts and techniques of machine learning and data mining. They are able to competently use data mining software on practical problems, and have a thorough theoretical understanding, which enables them to implement such methods on their own. In particular, they are also familiar with the challenges of big data.
