Using Hidden Markov Models for the accurate linguistic analysis of process model activity labels

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a machine learning-based technique for activity label analysis.

• We conceptualize activity label analysis as a tagging task based on a Hidden Markov Model.

• Our technique overcomes the issues associated with the rule-based state of the art.

• Our technique no longer requires the manual specification of rules.

• A comparative evaluation with 15,000 labels demonstrates the superiority of our technique.
