• Abstract: A characteristic of existing predictive process monitoring techniques is to first construct a predictive model based on past process executions, and then use it to predict the future of new ongoing cases, without the possibility of updating it with new cases when they complete their execution. This can make predictive process monitoring too rigid to deal with the variability of processes working in real environments that continuously evolve and/or exhibit new variant behaviors over time. As a solution to this problem, we propose the use of algorithms that allow the incremental construction of the predictive model. These incremental learning algorithms update the model whenever new cases become available so that the predictive model evolves over time to fit the current circumstances. The algorithms have been implemented using different case encoding strategies and evaluated on a number of real and synthetic datasets. The results provide a first evidence of the potential of incremental learning strategies for predicting process monitoring in real environments, and of the impact of different case encoding strategies in this setting.

  RHiOTS is designed to assess the robustness of hierarchical time series forecasting models and algorithms on real-world datasets. RHiOTS incorporates an innovative visualization component, turning complex, multidimensional robustness evaluation results into intuitive, easily interpretable visuals. Our findings show that traditional statistical methods are more robust than state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms, except when the transformation effect is highly disruptive.

  Some autoregressive models can learn as an input sequence is processed, without undergoing any parameter changes, and without being explicitly trained to do so. We show that standard next-token prediction error minimization gives rise to a subsidiary learning algorithm that adjusts the model as new inputs are revealed. Our findings explain in-context learning as a product of autoregressive loss minimization and inform the design of new optimization-based Transformer layers.

  Predictive Process Monitoring techniques typically construct a predictive model based on past process executions, and then use it to predict the future of new ongoing cases. This can make Predictive Process Monitoring too rigid to deal with the variability of processes working in real environments. We evaluate the use of three different strategies that allow the periodic rediscovery or incremental construction of the predictive model.

  This paper proposes a novel adversarial training framework to address the problem of next event prediction. It works by putting one neural network against the other in a two-player game which leads to predictions that are indistinguishable from the ground truth. It systematically outperforms all baselines both in terms of accuracy and earliness of the prediction, despite using a simple network architecture and a naive feature encoding.
