Trace clustering techniques are a set of approaches for partitioning traces or process instances into similar groups. Typically, this partitioning is based on certain patterns or similarity between the traces, or done by discovering a process model for each cluster of traces. In general, however, it is likely that clustering solutions obtained by these approaches will be hard to understand or difficult to validate given an expert’s domain knowledge. Therefore, we propose a novel semi-supervised trace clustering technique based on expert knowledge. Our approach is validated using a case in tablet reading behaviour, but widely applicable in other contexts. In an experimental evaluation, the technique is shown to provide a beneficial trade-off between performance and understandability.
