Best Presentation Award

In 2019, Thais R. Neubauer presented her “work in progress” at the 6th PPgSI’s Dissertations Workshop and received the award for best presentation among the works of the Systems Inteligence research line.

Thais presented the context of her work as follows: “Even good trace clustering results fail to discover useful process models in the business context, exposing a gap between clustering objectives and business objectives. In the process mining context, even if organizations do not have complete knowledge about their business processes models, their professionals (experts) certainly have some relevant knowledge about the processes characteristics. Therefore, the insertion of this knowledge in trace clustering probably brings better results than totally unsupervised assumptions (e.g, pre-determining similarity relations or a type of data distributions). Interactive clustering is a recent approach that focus on inserting the human expert into the clustering task. Applying this interactive approach to trace clustering replaces harmful technical decisions by business expert’s decisions. This application defines a new field of study that is being referred to in this project as interactive trace clustering.” The summary of this “work in progress” can be accessed here, and the slides used in the presentation, here.

Congratulations Thais! Your presentation was very good and you represented our research group very well!
