LSTM Networks for Data-Aware Remaining Time Prediction of Business Process Instances
Predicting the completion time of business process instances would be a very
helpful aid when managing processes under service level agreement constraints.
The ability to know in advance the trend of running process instances would
allow business managers to react in time, in order to prevent delays or
undesirable situations. However, making such accurate forecasts is not easy:
many factors may influence the required time to complete a process instance. In
this paper, we propose an approach based on deep Recurrent Neural Networks
(specifically LSTMs) that is able to exploit arbitrary information associated
to single events, in order to produce an as-accurate-as-possible prediction of
the completion time of running instances. Experiments on real-world datasets
confirm the quality of our proposal.Comment: Article accepted for publication in 2017 IEEE Symposium on Deep

Performance-preserving event log sampling for predictive monitoring
Predictive process monitoring is a subfield of process mining that aims to estimate case or event features for running process instances. Such predictions are of significant interest to the process stakeholders. However, most of the state-of-the-art methods for predictive monitoring require the training of complex machine learning models, which is often inefficient. Moreover, most of these methods require a hyper-parameter optimization that requires several repetitions of the training process which is not feasible in many real-life applications. In this paper, we propose an instance selection procedure that allows sampling training process instances for prediction models. We show that our instance selection procedure allows for a significant increase of training speed for next activity and remaining time prediction methods while maintaining reliable levels of prediction accuracy
