The low quality of business process event logs—particularly the widespread occurrence of incomplete traces—poses significant challenges to the reliability, accuracy, and efficiency of process mining analysis. In real-world scenarios, these data imperfections severely undermine the practical value of process mining techniques. The primary research problem addressed in this study is the inefficiency and limited effectiveness of existing Petri-net-based incomplete trace repair approaches, which often struggle to accurately recover missing events in the presence of complex and nested loop structures. To tackle these limitations, we aim to develop a faster and more accurate approach for repairing incomplete event logs. Specifically, we propose a novel repair approach based on process trees as an alternative to traditional Petri nets, thus alleviating issues such as state space explosion. Our approach incorporates process tree model decomposition and innovative branch indexing techniques, enabling rapid localization of candidate branches for repair and a significant reduction in the solution space. Furthermore, by leveraging activity information within the traces, our approach achieves efficient and precise repair of loop nodes through a single traversal of the process tree. To comprehensively evaluate our approach, we conduct experiments on four real-life and five synthetic event logs, comparing performance against state-of-the-art techniques. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach consistently delivers repair accuracies exceeding 70%, with time efficiency improved by up to three orders of magnitude. These findings validate the superior accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of the proposed approach, highlighting its strong potential for practical applications in business process mining.

This paper applies a new expectation maximization (EM) based identification method to estimate a generic FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model under unknown Gaussian measurement noise. It is well noted that such FHN model is an elementary neuronal dynamics description and plays a significant role in deep understanding and basic analysis for complicated mechanisms of some neural diseases. Different from the most existing relevant identification methods, the applied new method is additionally capable of supplying users with variance estimation for the unknown measurement noise corrupting on the membrane potential apart from model parameter estimates. All unknown parameters can be iteratively estimated by a particle smoothing based EM algorithm, which consists of an expectation (E) step and a maximization (M) step. Smoothed joint-state particles are produced by a new particle smoothing algorithm to evaluate an expectation of a log-likelihood function in the E step, and the model parameters and noise variance can then be efficiently optimized by the gradient based methods in the M step. The resulting estimations own global convergence for a relatively wide range of parameter initializations. Finally, good convergence behaviors of the estimated model parameters and noise variance are demonstrated by a numerical simulation for a classic FHN model by using 10 simulation realizations with random initializations varying within ±100% of their respective true values.

The appearance analysis and counting of peripheral blood leukocytes can assist the diagnosis of blood diseases such as leukemia. Therefore, it is necessary to automatically extract leukocytes from blood smear images. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end peripheral blood leukocyte image segmentation method based on fully convolutional neural network, which can not only encode multi-scale contextual information, but also capture clear boundary information through decoding. Specifically, the proposed method first utilizes the context-aware feature encoder with residual convolutions to extract a set of multi-scale features. Then, a refinement module of parallel dilated convolutions with multiple dilation rates for expanding the receptive field of the feature maps is introduced to aggregate contextual information. Finally, clear prediction results are reconstructed by the context-aware feature decoder and skip connections. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on two publicly available datasets.

Model-based systems engineering approaches are commonly used to develop safetycritical mechatronic systems. Recently, a new SysML-based method for the dependability analysis of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has been introduced. The method consists of three main steps: (i) creation of a structural SysML model using building blocks from the underlying UAV dependability profile that extends the model with block-level reliability and time properties, (ii) transformation of the semi-formal SysML model into a formal Dual-Graph Error Propagation Model (DEPM) that captures relevant structural and behavioral properties of the system, (iii) DEPM-based evaluation of system dependability metrics using Markov chain models and state-of-the-art probabilistic model checking techniques. This paper describes the practitioner experiences and lessons learned after the application of the aforementioned method to a sophisticated real-world embedded fault-tolerant inertial navigation system. The case study revealed two particular limitations that have been overcome by the optimization of the method against the state-space explosion of underlying Markov chain models and the introduction of a new computation algorithm for DEPMs with realistic extremely low fault activation probabilities.

ABSTRACTReal-time stereo matching with high accuracy is a dynamic research topic; it is attractive in diverse computer vision applications. This paper presents a stereo-matching algorithm that produces high-quality disparity map while maintaining real-time performance. The proposed stereo-matching method is based on three per-pixel difference measurements with adjustment elements. The absolute differences and the gradient matching are combined with a colour-weighted extension of complete rank transform to reduce the effect of radiometric distortion. The disparity calculation is realized using improved dynamic programming that optimizes along and across all scanlines. It solves the inter-scanline inconsistency problem and increases the matching accuracy. The proposed algorithm is implemented on parallel high-performance graphic hardware using the Compute Unified Device Architecture to reach over 240 million disparity evaluations per second. The processing speed of our algorithm reaches 98 frames per second on 240 × 320-pixel images and 32 disparity levels. Our method ranks fourth in terms of accuracy and runtime for quarter-resolution images in the Middlebury stereo benchmark.
