New SPECpp Framework Automates Petri Net Discovery for Process Mining

Researchers have introduced SPECpp, a new framework designed for the discovery of Petri nets, which are used to model complex processes. Unlike traditional top-down methods that rely on predefined structures, SPECpp employs a bottom-up approach that allows complex behaviors like concurrency and free-choice constructs to emerge organically. The framework addresses the challenge of an exponential number of candidate places by implementing strategies to generate high-quality models efficiently, validated through experiments with synthetic and real-life data. AI

IMPACT This framework could enhance the efficiency and accuracy of process mining, potentially impacting AI applications that rely on understanding and optimizing complex workflows.

    Monotonicity-Guided Bottom-Up Petri Net Discovery: The SPECpp Framework

    arXiv:2608.09398v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Process discovery is one of the central challenges in process mining. Petri nets are particularly attractive because simple local constructs can express complex behavior, including concurrency. While their global behavior may be d…
