D-TAIA: Domain-Aware LLM Adaptation for Multi-Task Predictive Process Monitoring

D-TAIA is a framework that adapts large language models for multi‑task predictive process monitoring, jointly predicting the next activity and remaining time of ongoing cases. It uses domain‑aware triplet loss pre‑training, FAISS‑based nearest‑neighbor retrieval for time estimation, and a TAIA inference strategy to preserve sequential reasoning while fine‑tuning a 10 M‑parameter backbone. Across four real‑world event logs, D‑TAIA achieves state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results compared to a fine‑tuned LLM and a recurrent neural network baseline, with ablation studies showing the effectiveness of NLP and computer‑vision techniques for this domain.

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.

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.

Graph Coloring for Multi-Task Learning

arXiv:2509. 16959v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When different objectives conflict with each other in multi-task learning, gradients begin to interfere and slow convergence, thereby potentially reducing the final model's performance.
