A Visual Approach to Spot Statistically-Significant Differences in Event Logs Based on Process Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of comparing different variants of the same process. We aim to detect relevant differences between processes based on what was recorded in event logs. We use transition systems to model behavior and to highlight differences. Transition systems are annotated with measurements, used to compare the behavior in the variants. The results are visualized as transitions systems, which are colored to pinpoint the significant differences. The approach has been implemented in ProM, and the implementation is publicly available. We validated our approach by performing experiments using real-life event data. The results show how our technique is able to detect relevant differences undetected by previous approaches while it avoids detecting insignificant differences.

Concept drift detection in business process logs using deep learning
Process mining provides a bridge between process modeling and analysis on the one hand and data mining on the other hand. Process mining aims at discovering, monitoring, and improving real processes by extracting knowledge from event logs. However, as most business processes change over time (e.g. the effects of new legislation, seasonal effects and etc.), traditional process mining techniques ...

متن کاملConcept drift detection in event logs using statistical information of variants
In recent years, business process management (BPM) has been highly regarded as an improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations. Extracting and analyzing information on business processes is an important part of this structure. But these processes are not sustainable over time and may change for a variety of reasons, such as the environment and human resources. These changes ...
متن کاملFinding Process Variants in Event Logs
The analysis of event data is particularly challenging when there is a lot of variability. Often, there are different variants of the same process, thus cluttering the overall representations of these processes, such as process models. Therefore, it is important to automatically detect process variants and support the analysis of individual variants and their comparison. Existing approaches can...
متن کاملCapturing Resource Behaviour From Event Logs
Process mining mainly focuses on the retrieval of process models from event logs. As these discovery algorithms make assumptions, performance analyses based on these models can present a biased view. In literature, algorithm-agnostic process metrics have been introduced. Given the critical importance of resources in the light of continuous process improvement, this paper extends the process met...
