Do you believe you have implemented a good discovery algorithm? Then submit it to the PDC 2027 to put it to the test!
The Process Discovery Contest (PDC) is dedicated to the assessment of tools and techniques that discover business process models from event logs. The objective is to compare the efficiency of techniques to discover process models that provide a proper balance between “overfitting” and “underfitting”. A process model is overfitting (the event log) if it is too restrictive, disallowing behavior which is part of the underlying process. This typically occurs when the model only allows for the behavior recorded in the event log. Conversely, it is underfitting (the reality) if it is not restrictive enough, allowing behavior which is not part of the underlying process. This typically occurs if it overgeneralizes the example behavior in the event log.
Contestants can not only submit multiple algorithms, but also multiple configurations of an algorithm. The contestant with the submission that scores best, wins the PDC 2027 award!
