The Application of a Semantic-Based Process Mining Framework on a Learning Process Domain

What is it about?

The paper presents a semantic-based process mining framework (SPMaAF) that exhibits high level of accuracy and conceptual reasoning capabilities particularly with its application in real world settings. The proposed framework proves useful towards the extraction, semantic preparation, and transformation of events log from any domain process into minable executable formats – with focus on supporting the further process of discovering, monitoring and improvement of the extracted processes through semantic-based analysis of the discovered models. Practically, the implementation of the proposed framework demonstrates the main contribution of this paper; as it presents a Semantic-Fuzzy mining approach that makes use of labels (i.e. concepts) within event logs about a domain process using a case study of the Learning Process. The paper provides a method which aims to allow for mining and improved analysis of the resulting process models through semantic – labelling (annotation), representation (ontology) and reasoning (reasoner).

Why is it important?

The process mining (PM) field combines techniques from computational intelligence which has been lately considered to encompass artificial intelligence (AI) or even the latter, augmented intelligence (AIs) systems, and the data mining (DM) to process modelling in order to analyze event logs.
