• Abstract: Predictive Process Monitoring (PPM) aims at predicting at runtime and as early as possible the future states of a process execution. Common tasks include predicting the next event, the time to completion of a trace, and outcomes. Existing approaches typically consider an event from the perspective of the executed activities along with their timestamps and case identifiers. This leads to the disadvantage that in real-life settings, there is much more information recorded in the event log that is not captured or completely ignored when performing prediction tasks. We introduce GNN4PPM, an approach that predicts all next events along with their complete data payload at once. We represent event information in a heterogeneous knowledge graph that captures the event log as an RDF semantics, and train the embeddings with a Relational Graph Convolutional Network (R-GCN). Our approach is promising in comparison to existing solutions, and experiments with state-of-the-art solutions prove the accuracy and applicability of GNN4PPM in complex settings.

  Predictive Process Monitoring focuses on predicting future states of ongoing process executions, such as forecasting the remaining time. Recent developments in Object-Centric Process Mining have enriched event data with objects and their explicit relations between events. We propose the Heterogeneous Object Event Graph encoding (HOEG), which integrates events and objects into a graph structure with diverse node types. We then adopt a heterogeneous Graph Neural Network architecture, which incorporates these diverse object features in prediction tasks.

  We present a novel Recurrent Graph Network (RGN) approach for predicting discrete marked event sequences by learning the underlying complex process. The nodes of the Graph Network use LSTM to incorporate past information whereas a Graph Attention Network (GAT Network) introduces strong inductive biases to capture the interaction between these different types of events. Experiments show that the proposed approach improves performance in log-likelihood, prediction and goodness-of-fit tasks with lower time and space complexity compared to state-of-the art Transformer based architectures.
