معرفی
Professor Klaus-Dieter Althoff is a faculty member at the University of Hildesheim, working within the Intelligent Information Systems Division of the Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics & Computer Science school. His research focuses on applying artificial intelligence techniques, particularly case-based reasoning (CBR), to architectural design support systems and knowledge management applications.
His research interests center on Case-Based Reasoning methodologies, AI-assisted architectural design, semantic building information modeling, and knowledge representation systems. Althoff's work bridges computer science with practical applications in architecture, developing systems that automate and enhance early-stage design processes through machine learning and case-based approaches.
Analysis of his recent publications (2021-2024) reveals a strong trend toward integrating deep learning with traditional case-based reasoning for architectural applications. His research increasingly focuses on autocompletion of architectural spatial configurations, BIM (Building Information Modeling) enhancement, and explainable AI for design support. The work spans theoretical CBR methodology development and practical implementations in architectural design tools.
Althoff maintains active research collaborations across disciplines, with publications spanning architecture, computer science, and cybersecurity applications of case-based reasoning. His work demonstrates consistent methodological development in CBR frameworks like FLEA and SEASALT, while expanding into new application domains including network security and fitness training systems.
