Calling alpha++ from CLI and sound nets

Mayke93

Hi!

I am working on a thesis doing some comparison and testing with different model inference tools.

For this, I am running prom via CLI and want to run experiments on the alpa++ miner, hybrid ILP, heuristics and inductive miner. I followed a blog post tutorial and used some info from this forum.

I have 2 questions:

1. The alpha algorithm will not generate sound or at least connected nets, so I used alpha ++ and called it like this:
   

   // ALPHA++
   org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventClassifier clss = new org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventNameClassifier(); 
   pars = new org.processmining.alphaminer.parameters.AlphaMinerParameters(org.processmining.alphaminer.parameters.AlphaVersion.PLUS_PLUS);
   
   a_net = alpha_miner(log, clss, pars);

   However, this still seems to call the regular alpha miner as its output is not sound and running the input data in prom 6.11 does generate a connected net at least.
   Also, it seems to run infinitely on some inputs?
   
   
2. I am having trouble finding out which packages exactly match the multiple options in ProM I get under the same name. Am I calling the right miners to get a sound or connected output?
   

   // INDUCTIVE
   org.processmining.plugins.InductiveMiner.mining.MiningParametersIM parameters = new org.processmining.plugins.InductiveMiner.mining.MiningParametersIM();
   pn_and_marking = mine_petri_net_with_inductive_miner_with_parameters(log, parameters);
   
   // HEURISTIC
   org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventClassifier clss = new org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventNameClassifier(); 
   org.processmining.plugins.heuristicsnet.miner.heuristics.miner.settings.HeuristicsMinerSettings hms = new org.processmining.plugins.heuristicsnet.miner.heuristics.miner.settings.HeuristicsMinerSettings();
   hms.setClassifier(clss);
   
   net = mine_for_a_heuristics_net_using_heuristics_miner(log, hms);
   h_net = convert_heuristics_net_into_petri_net(net);
   
   // ALPHA++
   org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventClassifier clss = new org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventNameClassifier(); 
   pars = new org.processmining.alphaminer.parameters.AlphaMinerParameters(org.processmining.alphaminer.parameters.AlphaVersion.PLUS_PLUS);
   
   a_net = alpha_miner(log, clss, pars);
   
   // Hybrid ILP
   org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventClassifier clss = new org.deckfour.xes.classification.XEventNameClassifier(); 
   
   i_net = ilp_based_process_discovery(log, clss);

   With exception of the alpha miner these calls work and seem to generate sound models, but I need to know for sure.
   

Kind regards,

Mayke
