RWTH Process Mining Lecture 12: Conformance Checking (1/2)

RWTH Process Mining Lecture 12: Conformance Checking (1/2) Lecturer: Prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst (www.vdaalst.com, @wvdaalst) In this first lecture on conformance checking, Wil van der Aalst presents three approaches for conformance checking. Input is an event log and a process model. Diagnostics show deviations between what is observed in reality and the process model. ------------------------ More about this Process Mining Course @ RWTH Aachen University (BPI 2021): This course consists of around 20 lectures covering the different fields of process mining, including five process discovery techniques, three conformance checking techniques, data preparation, decision mining, predictive analytics, machine learning, big-data analytics, and process mining software. The course is at an introductory level, but also comprehensive and providing details on state-of-the-art process mining techniques. The videos are part of the Business Process Intelligence (BPI) course organized by the PADS (Process and Data Science) group at RWTH (www.pads.rwth-aachen.de) led by prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst. The lectures by Wil van der Aalst are online due to COVID-19 and recorded in Spring 2021. Niklas Adams, Bianka Bakullari, Ali Norouzifar, Marco Pegoraro, Mahsa Pourbafrani, Mahnaz Qafari, Majid Rafiei, and Miriam Wagner took care of the instructions and assignments.
