Andreas Dengel is a professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau, a co-founder of intelligentX as well as the Executive Director of DFKI in Kaiserslautern. Since 2009, he has held another professorship (kyakuin) at the Department of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems at Osaka Metropolitan University, with the right to teach and examine. At this university, he was also appointed "Distinguished Honorary Professor" (tokubetu eiyo kyoju) in March 2018, an honor bestowed on only five researchers in 135 years. He has received many honors for his work and scientific achievements. In 2019 he was selected by a jury on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as one of the most influential scientists in 50 years of AI history in Germany for his research in the field of document analysis. He is the recipient of the Order of Merit of Rhineland-Palatinate and was awarded the "The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" in 2021, Japan's oldest order, on behalf of His Majesty Emperor Naruhito. Andreas Dengel has chaired numerous international conferences and is a member of the editorial boards of international journals and book series. He has written or edited 14 books and is the author of more than 600 peer-reviewed scientific publications, many of which have received the Best Paper Award. His main research areas are machine learning, pattern recognition, quantified learning, data mining, and neuro-symbolic AI.
