Abstract

Process mining is the automated construction of process models from information system event logs. In this paper we identify three fundamental difficulties related to process mining: the lack of negative information, the presence of history-dependent behavior and the presence of noise. These difficulties can elegantly dealt with when process mining is represented as first-order classification learning on event logs supplemented with negative events. A first set of process discovery experiments indicates the feasibility of this learning technique.
