معرفی
Professor Ralph Bergmann is a distinguished academic at the University of Trier, where he holds the position of Professor of Business Information Systems since 2004. He also serves as the research group leader for Experience-Based Learning Systems (EBLS) at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) Trier branch since 2020. His academic career spans multiple institutions with appointments at the University of Hildesheim (2001-2004) and the University of Kaiserslautern (1997-2001).
Dr. Bergmann's research focuses on the integration of data-oriented AI methods with semantic technologies to create hybrid AI systems. His work centers on experience-based learning systems that combine machine learning, case-based reasoning, ontologies, and knowledge graphs for modeling explicit knowledge. This research enables the redesign, adaptation, and flexible execution of processes with applications across diverse domains including Industry 4.0, construction, crisis management, service, medicine, cooking, and political argumentation.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating traditional case-based reasoning with modern AI techniques like large language models and knowledge graphs. The research shows increasing application in healthcare (particularly oncology and emergency response), IoT-enabled process monitoring, and argumentation analysis. His work bridges theoretical AI foundations with practical implementations across multiple industries.
Professor Bergmann has led approximately 35 research projects funded by prestigious organizations including the European Union, German Research Foundation (DFG), Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. With an h-index of 40, he has authored more than 200 scientific publications including four books and 13 conference proceedings.
He actively contributes to the academic community through service on editorial boards including Engineering Applications of AI and the International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies. His leadership extends to program committees for major conferences in artificial intelligence and case-based reasoning.
Professor Bergmann heads the Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Information Systems research group at the University of Trier and leads the Experience-Based Learning Systems research group at DFKI. His teams work on multiple projects including AI-AIM (AI-based anonymization in medicine), KIAFlex (interactive AI assistance for predictive and flexible control in discharge and transition management), DZW (Digital Twin Water Management), myRPA (experience-based Robotic Process Automation), and SPELL (Semantic Platform for Intelligent Decision and Operational Support in Control Centers).
