Abstract: When it comes to process mining, the more singularities there are in a business process, the more human-in-the-loop strategies are needed. In order to apply discovery, compliance, profile identification, prediction or recommendation algorithms, domain experts are often involved in various tasks, such as pre-processing event logs, parameterizing algorithms and post-processing the results. However, experts’ knowledge is rarely used to directly influence the internal decision making of process mining algorithms. The knowledge-oriented adjustment of the behavior of the algorithm facilitates data analysis, corrects distortions, and produces results more adherent to the expectations of a domain analyst. In this paper, we introduce the approach named interactive trace clustering, in which the human-in-the-loop strategy is implemented through experts’ knowledge based constraint rules, modeled and merged with the decisions
of the k-Means algorithm by means of the Cop-k-Means algorithm. We discuss our proposal through a proof of concept built on an incident completion time prediction problem. A real-world event log was used and the results when applying interactive trace clustering showed the usefulness of our approach.
