💡 Usage Examples

C++ API Usage

// Initialize
ProcessPatternMatcher matcher(db, vector_index, graph_index);
matcher.loadAdministrativeModels("config/process_models/");

// Find similar processes
SimilarityConfig config;
config.method = SimilarityMethod::HYBRID;
config.threshold = 0.75;
config.limit = 10;

auto [status, results] = matcher.findSimilar(pattern, config);

for (const auto& result : results.results) {
    std::cout << "Case: " << result.case_id << "\n";
    std::cout << "Similarity: " << result.overall_similarity << "\n";
}

AQL Query Examples

-- Load building permit model
LET model = PM_LOAD_ADMIN_MODEL("bauantrag_standard")

-- Find similar processes
LET similar = PM_FIND_SIMILAR(model, {
  method: "hybrid",
  threshold: 0.75,
  limit: 50
})

FOR result IN similar
  RETURN {
    case_id: result.case_id,

Original prompt

Ich möchte das Process-mining auch in AQL möglich machen. eine Idee ist eine Ideal Prozessstruktur zu übergeben und die process-miner suchen nach graphen, vectoren, relationalen Zusammenhängen und zeigen entsprechende gefundene "ähnliche" Prozesse an. Ich weiß wir haben ähnliche Funktionen bereits implementiert. Bitte best-practice und wissenschaftliche Puplikationen zum data-mining finden und roadmap für implementierung erstellen.
