Current approaches for suffix prediction in business processes focus on predicting a single, most likely suffix.
Proposed probabilistic suffix prediction offers a probability distribution of suffixes, addressing limitations of single predictions in uncertain or variable processes.
Uncertainty-Aware Encoder-Decoder LSTM (U-ED-LSTM) and Monte Carlo suffix sampling algorithm are key components of the proposed approach.
Evaluation of U-ED-LSTM shows good predictive performance and calibration on real-life event logs, highlighting the effectiveness of probabilistic suffix predictions in capturing uncertainties.
