Category: Alpha miner

In the video below, we explain how the very first process discovery algorithm, the Alpha miner, works. We show the main steps taken by the Alpha miner to get from the input data to a process model. We also show the limitations of the Alpha miner.

In the video below, we show how the Alpha miner can be applied in ProM. We use the ‘Artificial – Loan Process – Partial.xes.gz’ event log in this video. We also show the main shortcomings of the Alpha miner.

For the interested reader pointers follow to the scientific papers that describe in great detail how the Alpha miner works. Note that this is extra material and this is not required for the course. Note that many extensions of the Alpha miner exist: In short, the differences between the four algorithms are that the Alpha Read More …
