| Abstract: | The popularity of Deep Learning (DL) methods used in business process management research and practice is constantly increasing. One important factor that hinders the adoption of DL in certain areas is the availability of sufficiently large training datasets, particularly affecting domains where process models are mainly defined manually with a high knowledge-acquisition effort. In this paper, we examine process model augmentation in combination with semi-supervised transfer learning to enlarge existing datasets and train DL models effectively. The use case of similarity learning between manufacturing process models is discussed. Based on a literature study of existing augmentation techniques, a concept is presented with different categories of augmentation from knowledge-light approaches to knowledge-intensive ones, e. g. based on automated planning. Specifically, the impacts of augmentation approaches on the syntactic and semantic correctness of the augmented process models are considered. The concept also proposes a semi-supervised transfer learning approach to integrate augmented and non-augmented process model datasets in a two-phased training procedure. The experimental evaluation investigates augmented process model datasets regarding their quality for model training in the context of similarity learning between manufacturing process models. The results indicate a large potential with a reduction of the prediction error of up to 53%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
