How to Work only On GeneticMiner? (Make investigation or modification on Genetic Algorithm)

ysklab

Hi,

I am a new Phd Student on process mining, and i want to work only on genetic algorithms. so please, could you help me and tell me how to have only prom with GeneticMiner so it will let me modify and investigate the Genetic algorithms implementation?

I have used subclipse and I have downloaded the GeneticMiner Project, but when i run it i got an error message like  : error with Ljava.io.File. How can I fix that?

Thank you.

Dear Ysklab,

First of all good to hear that you are doing your PhD on process mining.

I'm not sure which ProM version you are referring to.
In case of ProM 5: I would switch to ProM 6.

In ProM 6 there are two genetic packages: 'GeneticMiner' and 'EvolutionaryTreeMiner'. The latter one is my PhD topic and is more recent than the Genetic Miner, however it works on process trees, and not Petri nets (/causal matrices).

Please follow the instructions on

Good luck and keep us updated of your progress!

Hi,

I don't know why, but it seemed to me that the original GeneticMiner worked with Petri Net. As I've imported the package from the repository, the ProM interface uses Heuristic Nets for the model visualization. Has it changed or am I using it wrong ?

The Genetic Miner works on a causal matrix internally, which can be translated to a Petri net, or Heuristic net. The first one is shown in most of the papers, the latter one ended up in the implementation. Both can be translated to the other though so you can still get a Petri net if you really want.
