Alpha Algorithm
The α-algorithm or α-miner is an algorithm used in process mining Process mining is a family of techniques for analyzing event data to understand and improve operational processes. Part of the fields of data science and Business_process_management, process management, process mining is generally built on Logging ..., aimed at reconstructing causality from a set of sequences of events. It was first put forward by Wil van der Aalst, van der Aalst, Weijters and Măruşter. The goal of Alpha miner is to convert the event log into a workflow-net based on the relations between various activities in the event log. An event log is a multi-set of traces, and a trace is a sequence of activity names. Several extensions or modifications of it have since been presented, which will be listed below. Alpha miner was the first Business process discovery, process discovery algorithm ever proposed, and it gives a good overview of the aim of process discovery and how various activities within the p ...

Process Mining
Process mining is a family of techniques for analyzing event data to understand and improve operational processes. Part of the fields of data science and Business_process_management, process management, process mining is generally built on Logging (computing), logs that contain case id, a unique identifier for a particular process instance; an activity, a description of the event that is occurring; a timestamp; and sometimes other information such as resources, costs, and so on. There are three main classes of process mining techniques: ''process discovery'', ''conformance checking'', and ''process enhancement''. In the past, terms like ''workflow mining'' and ''automated business process discovery'' (ABPD) were used. Overview Process mining techniques are often used when no formal description of the process can be obtained by other approaches, or when the quality of existing documentation is questionable. For example, application of process mining methodology to the audit trails o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
