Abstract

Modern techniques widely applied in data mining, including computational intelligence and machine learning, have been fairly neglected in process mining. We conducted an exploratory study to use artificial neural networks to extract knowledge from an unstructured process in the distance learning domain. We discuss some possible benefits and limitations regarding the mining of unstructured processes. Results suggest that applying either classical process mining or modern data mining techniques would result in significant benefits for this domain. Our work helps to guide new studies related to the application of modern mining techniques in process mining.
