Apply the alignments algorithm between a log and a process model. The methods return the full alignment diagnostics.

Alignment-based replay aims to find one of the best alignment between the trace and the model. For each trace, the output of an alignment is a list of couples where the first element is an event (of the trace) or » and the second element is a transition (of the model) or ». For each couple, the following classification could be provided:

  • Sync move: the classification of the event corresponds to the transition label; in this case, both the trace and the model advance in the same way during the replay.

  • Move on log: for couples where the second element is », it corresponds to a replay move in the trace that is not mimicked in the model. This kind of move is unfit and signal a deviation between the trace and the model.

  • Move on model: for couples where the first element is », it corresponds to a replay move in the model that is not mimicked in the trace. For moves on model, we can have the following distinction:

    • Moves on model involving hidden transitions: in this case, even if it is not a sync move, the move is fit.

    • Moves on model not involving hidden transitions: in this case, the move is unfit and signals a deviation between the trace and the model.

With each trace, a dictionary containing among the others the following information is associated:

alignment: contains the alignment (sync moves, moves on log, moves on model) cost: contains the cost of the alignment according to the provided cost function fitness: is equal to 1 if the trace is perfectly fitting.

Parameters:

  • log – event log

  • args – specification of the process model

  • multi_processing (bool) – boolean value that enables the multiprocessing

  • activity_key (str) – attribute to be used for the activity

  • timestamp_key (str) – attribute to be used for the timestamp

  • case_id_key (str) – attribute to be used as case identifier

  • variant_str – variant specification (for Petri net alignments)

  • return_diagnostics_dataframe (bool) – if possible, returns a dataframe with the diagnostics (instead of the usual output)

Return type:

List[Dict[str, Any]]
