LS-ICE: A Load State Intercase Encoding framework for improved predictive monitoring of business processes
AbstractResearch on developing techniques for predictive process monitoring has generally relied on feature encoding schemes that extract intra-case features from events to make predictions. In doing so, the processing of cases is assumed to be solely ...
Highlights- We propose LS-ICE, a novel framework for encoding intercase features from event logs.
- LS-ICE encodes the state of relevant load points in a business process.
- LS-ICE enriched events improve the performance of predictive process ...
