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.

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.

Revisiting Predictive Process Monitoring in the Age of Foundation Models: A Comparative Study of Sequence, Tabular, and LLM Approaches

arXiv:2607. 27797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive process monitoring (PPM) leverages event logs to forecast the future of running process instances, for instance, predicting the next activity, the remaining time until case completion, or the time to the next event.

Feature Attribution-Based Explainability Analysis of Deep Learning Models in Predictive Process Monitoring

Predictive process monitoring supports the optimization and control of operational business processes by forecasting the future state or outcome of ongoing cases. While deep neural networks have achieved strong performance for these tasks by modeling sequential dependencies in event logs, their black-box nature limits trust and practical adoption.

LLMs as Master Forgers: Generating Synthetic Time Series Data for Manufacturing

The paper introduces a framework that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate synthetic time‑series data for manufacturing processes. By fine‑tuning pre‑trained LLMs on manufacturing instructions and applying Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the method enhances data diversity and realism. Evaluation against traditional models such as ARIMA and LSTMs shows that the LLM‑driven approach produces higher‑quality synthetic data, better capturing temporal dependencies and improving downstream anomaly detection performance.
