Uncertain events are recordings of executions of specific activities in a process which are enclosed with an indication of uncertainty in the event attributes. Specifically, let&#8217;s consider the case where the attributes of an event are not recorded as a precise value but as a range or a set of alternatives. In the case of the common control-flow attributes of an event log, the case id and activity are represented by a set of alternatives, and the timestamp as a range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/pads\/files\/2019\/04\/unctrace.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/pads\/files\/2019\/04\/unctrace.png 443w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/pads\/files\/2019\/04\/unctrace-300x120.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><figcaption>An example of uncertain trace.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We can think of this uncertain trace as a set of &#8220;classic&#8221; traces obtained by every possible choices of the values for the attributes; this is called the <em>realization set<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the paper &#8220;<em>Mining Uncertain Event Data in Process Mining<\/em>&#8220;, published on the first International Conference on Process Mining (<a href=\"https:\/\/icpmconference.org\/\">ICPM<\/a>), we laid down a taxonomy of possible kinds of uncertainty; we also explore an example of application, i.e. the computation of upper and lower bound for conformance cost of an uncertain trace against a reference process model. This is obtained by modeling a Petri net able to reproduce the behavior of an uncertain trace; this enables to compute the conformance exploiting a model-to-model comparison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is by Marco Pegoraro, Scientific Assistant in the Process And Data Science group at RWTH Aachen University.
