                              | Students are familiar with the general data mining process (k3), so that they can identify suitable algorithms for a wide variety of data mining problems (k4), and can competently apply them to these problems (k5). These skills are based on a thorough theoretical understanding of the state-of-the-art in data mining (k5), which enables them to implement such methods on their own (k5). In particular, they are also familiar with the challenges of big data (k4).
