  • Patent number: 11068796
    Abstract: Methods and systems for pruning process execution logs include learning a predictive model from a set of execution traces that characterize a process, where the predictive model determines a likelihood of a given instance reaching a specified outcome; identifying attributes in the predictive model that fall below a threshold measure of relevance to the specified outcome using a processor; and removing the identified attributes from the set of execution traces.

  • Patent number: 10417580
    Abstract: Methods and systems for refining a process model include determining whether the process model is too dense or too sparse. A predictive model is learned from execution traces to predict an outcome. The predictive model is modified responsive to the determination of whether the process model is too dense or too sparse. A refined process model is refined from updated traces based on attributes present in the modified predictive model.

  • Patent number: 10181012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data analysis include constructing patient traces as a set of medical events for each patient of a patient population, the patient population being segmented based on patient outcomes. Medical events in one or more of the patient traces are reduced to provide processed patient traces. The processed patient traces are clustered to identify a cluster of patient traces. A process model is mined, using a processor, representing an aggregation of treatment pathways in the patient traces from the cluster. Patterns from patient traces are identified that are discriminative of patient outcomes. At least one of the patterns is represented with respect to the process model to identify treatment pathways correlated with the patient outcomes.

  • Patent number: 9990341
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for suggesting uniform resource locators located at previously unknown hosts to users. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to record uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web resources accessed by a user and usage details pertaining to the user's usage of the web resources. Responsive to receiving a request to access a hostname not stored in the recorded URLs, embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive URLs associated with web resources available at the hostname and assign weight values to the received URLs based, at least in part, on the usage details and a similarity between the received URLs and the recorded URLs. Embodiments of the present invention can then be used to generate a URL suggestion from the received URLs based, at least in part, on the assigned weight values.
