Resolution limits for process comparison from event data

The paper examines how event data from hospital processes can obscure whether activities occur concurrently or sequentially. It shows that standard event‑log approaches, based on stochastic language, often fail to distinguish concurrency because any log can be explained by a model with no concurrent events. The authors argue that the key to resolving this ambiguity lies in the choice of what is recorded—such as precise start and end times or object‑centric ordering—rather than simply collecting more data.

Resolution limits for process comparison from event data

The paper examines how event logs used in process mining can fail to reveal concurrent versus sequential activities, using a hospital example where blood tests and imaging may occur simultaneously or in alternating order. It demonstrates that standard stochastic language approaches only expose the assumptions of their discovery algorithms, often misrepresenting concurrency. The authors argue that the key to distinguishing concurrent behavior lies in the choice of recorded data—such as precise start and end times or object‑centric ordering—rather than simply increasing sample size.

Concurrency-Aware Process Model Forecasting with Causal Nets

The paper introduces a new approach to process model forecasting that uses causal nets instead of traditional directly-follows graphs, enabling explicit representation of concurrency. It forecasts time series of relation and binding counts, reconstructs future process models with AND/XOR semantics, and evaluates them using a protocol that handles partial traces for conformance checking. Experiments on four event logs show that the forecasted models achieve conformance close to re‑mined models and outperform static discovery baselines, though filtering infrequent bindings improves metrics at the cost of losing concurrent behavior.

Automated Event Log Generation from Unstructured Text Using Finetuned LLMs

The paper introduces a scalable framework that uses finetuned large language models (LLMs) to translate unstructured textual resources into structured event logs for process mining. By creating a new text-to-log dataset and finetuning LLMs on it, the authors demonstrate that the resulting models produce high‑fidelity event logs, outperforming few‑shot or zero‑shot prompting methods. This approach enables previously unused organizational data, such as incident tickets and manuals, to be incorporated into process mining workflows.
