Abstract

The availability of automatic support may sometimes determine the successful accomplishment of a process. Such a support can be provided if a model of the intended process is available. Many real-world process models are very complex. Additionally, their components might be associated to conditions that determine whether they are to be carried out or not. These conditions may be in turn very complex, involving sequential relationships that take into account the past history of the current process execution. In this landscape, writing and setting up manually the process models and conditions might be infeasible, and even standard Machine Learning approaches may be unable to infer them.
This paper presents a First-Order Logic-based approach to learn complex process models extended with conditions. It combines two powerful Inductive Logic Programming systems. The overall system was exploited to learn the daily routines of the user of a smart environment, for predicting his needs and comparing the actual situation with the expected one. In addition to proving the efficiency and effectiveness of the system, the outcomes show that complex, human-readable and interesting preconditions can be learned for the tasks involved in the process.

Fußnoten
1
Mathematically, to split a number \(n\) in two numbers \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) so that \(n_1^{n_2}\) is maximum, one must take \(n_1 = n_2 = \sqrt{n}\).
 
2
Actually, for one day the activity labels were missing, for which reason the corresponding case was removed from the dataset.
