Abstract/Summary

This paper presents a set of methods, jointly called PGraphD*, which includes two new methods (PGraphDD-QM and PGraphDD-SS) for drift detection and one new method (PGraphDL) for drift localisation in business processes. The methods are based on deep learning and graphs, with PGraphDD-QM and PGraphDD-SS employing a quality metric and a similarity score for detecting drifts, respectively. According to experimental results, PGraphDD-SS outperforms PGraphDD-QM in drift detection, achieving an accuracy score of 100% over the majority of synthetic logs and an accuracy score of 80% over a complex real-life log. Furthermore, PGraphDD-SS detects drifts with delays that are 59% shorter on average compared to the best performing state-of-the-art method.
