The service composition problem is very similar to standard planning problems since the idea is to discover a path between the initial and goal states. In service composition, the composition of services identifies this path. In this paper, we exploit provenance information along with Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) to compose the services automatically. The POMDP method has been used in literature for the purpose of robot planning and navigation. In this research, we argue that due to partial observability of service and system states, the POMDP approach provides better solutions for the QoS-aware service composition in dynamic workflow environments. For the purpose of solving the POMDP, service details and the POMDP distributions are learnt from the provenance store. Provenance data contains information regarding workflows, services, their specifications and execution details. This information facilitates the service composition process to be performed more intelligently and efficiently.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114494415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of the different annotation tools shows that (semi-)automatic and automatic systems aren't as efficient as needed without human intervention and will continue to evolve to solve the challenge.

The goal is that similar data items should be projected to similar coordinates in the latent space. Nevertheless, due to the non-linearity data items that are distant in the high-dimensional space may be projected close to each other in the latent space. Therefore, magnification factors must be analysed in order to detect stretches and contractions in the embedded latent space. However, magnification factors may not be straightforward to communicate to practitioners who are not aware of such manifestations in the embedded latent space, and only care about an accurate depiction that shows which data items are similar. The goal of this work is to devise a more convenient visualisation that corrects for magnifications and thus depicts the true distances between data items more faithfully. We present an approach based on a multidimensional scaling technique that corrects the obtained visualisations by distorting them according to local magnification factors. The approach is general and we demonstrate it on different visualisation algorithms, such as GTM extensions, the autoencoder, the GP-LVM, and on different types of data.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117250986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-tech systems such as X-ray machines and high-end copiers provide their manufacturers and services organizations with detailed event data. Larger organizations record relevant business events for process improvement, auditing, and fraud detection. Traces in such event logs can be classified as desirable or undesirable (e.g., faulty or fraudulent behavior). In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for discovering signatures that can be used to explain or predict the class of seen or unseen traces. These signatures are characteristic patterns that can be used to discriminate between desirable and undesirable behavior. As shown, these patterns can, for example, be used to predict remotely whether a particular component in an X-ray machine is broken or not. Moreover, the signatures also help to improve systems and organizational processes. Our framework for signature discovery is fully implemented in ProM and supports class labeling, feature extraction and selection, pattern discovery, pattern evaluation and cross-validation, reporting, and visualization. A real-life case study is used to demonstrate the applicability and scalability of the approach.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126802624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Process mining techniques use event logs to automatically discover process models, check conformance, identify bottlenecks and deviations, suggest improvements, and predict processing times. Lion's share of process mining research has been devoted to analysis techniques. However, the proper handling of problems and challenges arising in analyzing event logs used as input is critical for the success of any process mining effort. In this paper, we identify four categories of process characteristics issues that may manifest in an event log (e.g. process problems related to event granularity and case heterogeneity) and 27 classes of event log quality issues (e.g., problems related to timestamps in event logs, imprecise activity names, and missing events). The systematic identification and analysis of these issues calls for a consolidated effort from the process mining community. Five real-life event logs are analyzed to illustrate the omnipresence of process and event log issues. We hope that these findings will encourage systematic logging approaches (to prevent event log issues), repair techniques (to alleviate event log issues) and analysis techniques (to deal with the manifestation of process characteristics in event logs).","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114486984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of data stream classification, concept drift is considered one of the most difficult and important issues to be addressed. Ensemble classifiers can be successfully applied to data streams as long as the ensemble efficiently adapts itself in the occurrence of a concept drift. SAE algorithm inherits strategies from other ensemble methods, such as Online Bagging [4] and DWM [2], and merge these with the notion of connectivity between similar classifiers w.r.t. their individual predictions. The relational data obtained through measuring similarities between classifiers is used to arrange ensemble members in a social network structure that allows us to identify subgroups (subnetworks) of highly similar classifiers. Being able to identify similar classifiers allows us to implement a combination strategy that first combines predictions within similar classifiers and later combines these into the final prediction. Moreover, this combination strategy assigns more weight to recently added classifiers predictions during concept drifts, since these are dissimilar to all other existing classifiers. The similarity between classifiers is also used to identify and remove redundant classifiers. This effectively saves systems resources and sometimes improves accuracy. We present empirical experiments with synthetic data streams containing abrupt, gradual and no drift showing that SAE is a valid option for stream classification, especially when data stream characteristics (e.g. presence of abrupt drifts) are previously unknown and system resources, such as CPU time and memory space, are a concern.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"203 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131774865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means it is not possible to mine with confidence from event logs which may not record the underlying process correctly. We discuss one way of thinking about noise in process mining. We consider mining from a `noisy log' as learning a probability distribution over traces, representing the true process, from a log which is a sample from multiple distributions: the `true' process model and one or more `noise' models. We apply this using a probabilistic analysis of the Heuristics Miner algorithm, and demonstrate on a simple example. We show that for a given model it is possible to predict how much data is needed to mine the underlying model without the noise, and identify differences in the the robustness of Heuristics Miner to different types of noise.","PeriodicalId":220189,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM)","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130236261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
