Abstract

This paper significantly extends a previous proposal where an innovative ensemble-learning framework for mining business process deviances that exploits multi-view learning has been provided. Here, we introduce some relevant contributions: (i) a further learning method that extends and refines the previous methods via introducing the idea of probabilistically combining different deviance detection models (DDMs); (ii) a complete conceptual architecture that implements the extended multi-view ensemble-learning framework; (iii) a wide and comprehensive experimental assessment of the framework, even in comparison with existent competitors. The investigated scientific context falls in the so-called Business Process Intelligence (BPI) research area, which is relevant for a wide number of real-life applications. These novel contributions clearly confirm the flexibility, the reliability and the effectiveness of the general deviance detection framework, respectively.
