• Abstract summary: Predicting the next activity in an ongoing process is one of the most common classification tasks in the business process management domain. Current state-of-the-art AI models for business process prediction do not fully capitalize on available semantic information within process event logs. We propose a novel SNAP method that leverages language foundation models by constructing semantic contextual stories from the process historical event logs.

• Abstract: Predicting the next activity in an ongoing process is one of the most common classification tasks in the business process management (BPM) domain. It allows businesses to optimize resource allocation, enhance operational efficiency, and aids in risk mitigation and strategic decision-making. This provides a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving confluence of BPM and AI. Existing state-of-the-art AI models for business process prediction do not fully capitalize on available semantic information within process event logs. As current advanced AI-BPM systems provide semantically-richer textual data, the need for novel adequate models grows. To address this gap, we propose the novel SNAP method that leverages language foundation models by constructing semantic contextual stories from the process historical event logs and using them for the next activity prediction. We compared the SNAP algorithm with nine state-of-the-art models on six benchmark datasets and show that SNAP significantly outperforms them, especially for datasets with high levels of semantic content.

  "Context is Key" (CiK) is a time series forecasting benchmark that pairs numerical data with diverse types of carefully crafted textual context. We evaluate a range of approaches, including statistical models, time series foundation models, and LLM-based forecasters. Our experiments highlight the importance of incorporating contextual information, demonstrate surprising performance when using LLM-based forecasting models, and also reveal some of their critical shortcomings.

  We develop a novel text-aware process prediction model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks and natural language models. The proposed model can take categorical, numerical and textual attributes in event data into account to predict the activity and timestamp of the next event, the outcome, and the cycle time of a running process instance. Experiments show that the text-aware model is able to outperform state-of-the-art process prediction methods on simulated and real-world event logs containing textual data.

  Business process management (BPM) literature is rich in machine learning solutions. Deep learning models including those from the NLP domain have been applied to process predictions. We assert that a large reason for the lack of adoption of AI models in BPM is that business users are risk-averse and do not implicitly trust AI models.
