A new method of mining low-frequency behavior of business processes based on Petri nets is proposed, which involves the discovery and optimization of low-frequency behavior based on process tree
cutting and the optimization of
Petri net model based on communication behavior contour. Firstly, the initial flow model is established according to the communication behavior contour, and the behavior relationship of the log is represented by the direct flow graph
cut from the flow tree, which is matched with the initial model, and all the
low frequency sequences are found. Then, the behavior distancevector between the log and the model is calculated, the effective
low frequency log and the
noise log are distinguished based on the behavior compactness, and the
noise log is filtered. Secondly, according to the filtered optimization log, the module net and the feature net are established, and the module net and the feature net are fused to obtain the optimized
business process Petri net model.The invention provides the new method for mining low-frequency behavior, which effectively solves the problem of distinguishing low-frequency behavior and
noise behavior in the
business process by using behavior attributes among different modules, and avoids the structure of influencing the
business process due to ignoring the low-frequency behavior in the
process mining.
