About AIDA

The Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA) group at Ghent University is led by Prof. Tijl De Bie. Currently, the group is comprised of 10 PhD students, 2 postdoctoral researchers, 1 Assistant Prof. and 1 Full-time Professor. The group is also part of the larger Internet Technology and Data Science Lab (IDLab) a joint research initiative between the University of Antwerp and Ghent University. The research at AIDA covers a wide range of topics in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science. More specifically, we conduct research on graph and text mining, representation learning, generative AI, recommender systems, data visualization and music information retrieval. The group is currently funded by Prof. De Bie’s ERC Consolidator Grant FORSIED (“Formalizing Subjective Interestingness in Exploratory Data Mining”), the Flemish Government under the "Onderzoeksprogramma Artificiële Intelligentie (AI) Vlaanderen" programme, and several FWO projects.
