Log Data Anonymization

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

In the context of process mining, we are often confronted with companies willing to share their data if we can sufficiently anonymize this. However, to date, there are no well-defined plugins to do such anonymizations. Therefore, we are looking for a Master student that is willing to help us with this. Part of the project Read More …

N-out-of-M patterns in alignments

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

Aligning structured process models to event logs is a far from trivial task. In complex modelling languages, inclusive OR-split/join patterns play an important role and they are known to be notoriously difficult to align to event logs due to their large state-spaces. The known Petri net translations of OR-joins rely either on token coloring or Read More …

Generating non block-structured models and corresponding logs

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

For experimenting with process discovery and Petri nets, scientists often rely on experiments with artificial models and logs. More often than not, these models are block structured as it is easy to generate such models by simply building a random process tree and translating that into a Petri net. However, Petri nets allow for more Read More …

Petri net reduction rules for replay

Posted onAuthorEric VerbeekLeave a comment

Replaying event logs on Petri nets, either through token-replay or using alignments, is a complex task. Especially when models become larger and have more labels, the size of the models becomes a problem. In Petri net theory, many reduction rules exist for reducing Petri nets while retaining, for example, soundness of the model. Can we Read More …
