International audienceThe inference mechanisms of CEP engines are completely guided by rules, which are specified manually by domain experts. We argue that this user-based rule specification is a limiting factor, as it requires the experts to have technical knowledge about the CEP language they want to use, it restricts the usage of CEP to merely the detection of straightforward situations, and it restrains its propagation to more advanced fields that require prediction and proactivity. Therefore, we introduce autoCEP as a data mining-based approach that automatically learns predictive CEP rules from historical traces. More precisely, we include our novel method that is capable of learning rules and handling events coming from one source, and then we elaborate our vision on how to extend autoCEP to deal with simultaneous events coming from multiple sources
The inference mechanisms of CEP engines are completely guided by rules, which are specified manually by domain experts. We argue that this user-based rule specification is a limiting factor, as it requires the experts to have technical knowledge about the CEP language they want to use, it restricts the usage of CEP to merely the detection of straightforward situations, and it restrains its propagation to more advanced fields that require earliness, prediction and proactivity. Therefore, we introduce autoCEP as a data miningbased approach that automatically learns CEP rules from historical traces. autoCEP requires no technical knowledge from domain experts, and it also shows that the generated rules fit for prediction and proactive applications. Satisfactory results from evaluations on real data demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
