Markov Chain Decoders Overcome the Heavy-Tail Limitations of Lipschitz Generative Models

Abdelhakim Ziani, Andras Horvath, Paolo Ballarini

Heavy-tailed distributions are prevalent in performance evaluation, network traffic, and risk modeling. This behavior poses a fundamental challenge for modern deep generative model…

Phase-Type Variational Autoencoders for Heavy-Tailed Data

Abdelhakim Ziani, András Horváth, Paolo Ballarini

Heavy-tailed distributions are ubiquitous in real-world data, where rare but extreme events dominate risk and variability. However, standard Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) employ…

Approximating Heavy-Tailed Distributions with a Mixture of Bernstein Phase-Type and Hyperexponential Models

Abdelhakim Ziani, András Horváth, Paolo Ballarini

Heavy-tailed distributions, prevalent in a lot of real-world applications such as finance, telecommunications, queuing theory, and natural language processing, are challenging to m…

Statistical process discovery

Pierre Cry, Paolo Ballarini, András Horváth +1

Stochastic process discovery is concerned with deriving a model capable of reproducing the stochastic character of observed executions of a given process, stored in a log. This lea…

Probabilistic Process Discovery with Stochastic Process Trees

András Horváth, Paolo Ballarini, Pierre Cry

In order to obtain a stochastic model that accounts for the stochastic aspects of the dynamics of a business process, usually the following steps are taken. Given an event log, a p…

A framework for optimisation based stochastic process discovery

Pierre Cry, András Horváth, Paolo Ballarini +1

Process mining is concerned with deriving formal models capable of reproducing the behaviour of a given organisational process by analysing observed executions collected in an even…
