In case you're wondering: my first name ('Tijl') is pronounced ok as 'tell', and my last name ('De Bie' -- 'De' is not a middle name) as 'the bee'... (which is what it means!)

Good, now we can talk :-)

Affiliations
Currently I'm a Lecturer in AI at the University of Bristol, Department of Engineering Mathematics, and I'm part of the Intelligent Systems Lab. Together with Nello Cristianini and about 10 PhD students and postdocs, we form the Pattern Analysis and Intelligent Systems group.

Research
My interests are centred around pattern analysis, data mining, AI, and their applications. Some of the areas I'm particularly interested in are: music information retrieval, bioinformatics, web and text mining, and media analysis.
