Automated Process Discovery: Handling Complexity Filter • Filter out “irrelevant” events (tasks) • Filter out “irrelevant” traces Abstract • Zoom into most frequent tasks or paths • Extract subprocesses Divide • Divide log by variants based on similarity (trace clustering) • Discover multiple process models rather than one 5
