Process-Aware Event Log Augmentation for Process Prediction under Labeled Data Scarcity

The paper introduces SiamSA-PPM, a self‑supervised framework that augments event logs for predictive process monitoring by generating realistic trace variants using control‑flow semantics and frequent behavioral patterns. It combines Siamese learning with statistically grounded data augmentation to learn generalizable prefix representations without requiring labeled data. Experiments on diverse real‑world logs show that SiamSA-PPM matches or outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in next‑activity and final‑outcome prediction tasks.

Towards Reproducibility in Predictive Process Mining: SPICE -- A Deep Learning Library

The paper introduces SPICE, a Python framework that reimplements three popular deep‑learning methods for Predictive Process Mining (PPM) using PyTorch. It provides a common, highly configurable base to enable reproducible and robust comparison of PPM models, addressing issues of reproducibility, transparency, and usability. The authors benchmark SPICE against the original reported metrics and fair metrics across 11 datasets.

Foundation Models for Event Prediction Across Heterogeneous Event Logs

The paper introduces the Foundation Event Predictor (FEP), a scalable in‑context architecture that performs next‑event prediction across diverse event logs using learned, event‑level nonparametric inference. FEP employs causal self‑attention to encode context and target histories, cross‑attention for relevance‑weighted aggregation, and permutation‑robust embedding learning to decouple event IDs from semantics. Trained on 696 real‑world datasets and evaluated on 50 unseen ones, FEP generalizes effectively to new systems without parameter adaptation, often matching or surpassing models trained separately on each target dataset.

A Unified Particle Filter LSTM for Data-Driven Process Simulation

The paper introduces a Unified Particle Filter LSTM (Unified PF‑LSTM) for data‑driven process simulation, which maintains a weighted set of recurrent‑state hypotheses to better capture latent process conditions from incomplete event logs. By summarizing this particle belief with a weighted mean and moment‑generating‑function features, the model predicts next‑activity probabilities and conditional sojourn‑time quantiles. Experiments on three real‑world emergency department datasets show that the framework consistently outperforms existing data‑driven baselines in reproducing routing, duration, and system‑level behavior, especially when process dynamics are only partially reflected in the logs.
