Resolving Uncertain Case Identifiers in Interaction Logs: A User Study
share
Modern software systems are able to record vast amounts of user actions, stored for later analysis. One of the main types of such user interaction data is click data: the digital trace of the actions of a user through the graphical elements of an application, website or software. While readily available, click data is often missing a case notion: an attribute linking events from user interactions to a specific process instance in the software. In this paper, we propose a neural network-based technique to determine a case notion for click data, thus enabling process mining and other process analysis techniques on user interaction data. We describe our method, show its scalability to datasets of large dimensions, and we validate its efficacy through a user study based on the segmented event log resulting from interaction data of a mobility sharing company. Interviews with domain experts in the company demonstrate that the case notion obtained by our method can lead to actionable process insights.
