Abstract

Whenever traditional process discovery techniques are confronted with complex and flexible environments, equipping all the traces with just one single model might lead to a spaghetti-like process description. Trace clustering which splits the logs into clusters and applies discovery algorithm per cluster has affirmed to be a versatile solution for that. Nevertheless, most trace clustering techniques are not precise enough due to the indiscriminate treatment on the activities captured in traces. As a result, the impacts of some important activities are reduced and some typical information may be distorted or even lost during comparison. In this paper, we propose a novel trace clustering technique that based on constrained traces alignment and then adapt two appropriate clustering strategies into process mining perspective. And experiments on real-life event logs show that our technique has compelling outperformance in terms of process models complexity and comprehensibility.
