This is not surprising, since (e.g.) being able to predict future events in processes enables companies to intervene at an early stage if deviations from a desired workflow are likely to occur. Subsequently, errors and associated financial losses can be prevented or avoided. A common basis for being able to predict future events is a sequence of previous events that are typically stored in a socalled event log. In this work we present a neural network with attention mechanism, which is trained using publicly available event logs (e.g. BPI Challenge 2013). Furthermore, we elaborate the proposed model with an extensive dataset of events of a worldwide known German software company. In addition to promising results (e.g.) with regard to n-gram models, the training time of the proposed model is shorter than that of typical reference models such as neural networks with a long short-term memory architecture (LSTM).
