Title
Bayesian network based predictions of business processes
Author
Abstract
Predicting the next event(s) in Business Processes is becoming more important as more and more systems are getting automated. Predicting deviating behaviour early on in a process can ensure that possible errors are identified and corrected or that unwanted delays are avoided. We propose to use Bayesian Networks to capture dependencies between the attributes in a log to obtain a fine-grained prediction of the next activity. Elaborate comparisons show that our model performs at par with the state-of-the-art methods. Our model, however, has the additional benefit of explainability; due to its underlying Bayesian Network, it is capable of providing a comprehensible explanation of why a prediction is made. Furthermore, the runtimes of our learning algorithm are orders of magnitude lower than those state-of-the-art methods that are based on deep neural networks.
