Revising Process Models through Inductive Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discovering the Business Process (BP) model underpinning existing practices through analysis of event logs, allows users to understand, analyse and modify the process. But, to be useful, the BP model must be kept in line with practice throughout its lifetime, as changes occur to the business objectives, technologies and quality programs. Current techniques require users to manually revise the BP to account for discrepancies between the practice and the model, which is a laborious, costly and error prone task. We propose an automated approach for resolving such discrepancies by minimally revising a BP model to bring it in line with the activities corresponding to its executions, based on a non-monotonic inductive learning system. We discuss our implementation of this approach and demonstrate its application to a case-study. We further contrast our approach with existing BP discovery techniques to show that BP revision offers significant advantages over BP discovery in practical use.

A Three{tiered Conndence Model for Revising Logical Theories
The task of theory revision in Inductive Logic Programming is to correct the current theory when contradictions with new examples arise. Conndence models are used to assess and compare the diierent alternatives of revising a theory in order to choose the best revision. In this paper, we propose an augmentation of the two{tiered conndence model of MOBAL/KRT that allows to combine diierent heuris...
متن کاملLearning Styles and the Writing Process in a Digitally Blended Environment: Revising, Switching, and Pausing Behaviors in Focus
The present investigation sought to explore the relationship between learning styles and writing behaviors of EFL learners in a blended environment. It also aimed to identify the learning style types best predicting writing behaviors. Initially, the participants' preferred learning styles were identified through the Kolb’s learning style inventory (Kolb, 1984). Secondly, data were obtained thro...
متن کاملInductive Revision of Quantitative Process Models
Most research on computational scientific discovery has focused on developing an initial model, but an equally important task involves revising a model in response to new data. In this paper, we present an approach that represents candidate models as sets of quantitative processes and that treats revision as search through a model space which is guided by time-series observations and constraine...

متن کاملUsing Qualitative Models to Guide Inductive Learning
This paper presents a method for using qualitative models to guide inductive learning. Our objectives are to induce rules which are not only accurate but also explainable with respect to the qualitative model, and to reduce learning time by exploiting domain knowledge in the learning process. Such explainability is essential both for practical application of inductive technology, and for integr...
