Artificial Intelligence for Process Mining
AI4PM 2026 workshop at ECML PKDD 2026. A full-day workshop exploring the convergence between Artificial Intelligence and Process Mining.
ECML PKDD 2026
From 7 to 11 September 2026
European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases
September 7-11 | Naples
AI4PM workshop date: September 7 (Monday), 2026.
ECML PKDD is one of the leading international conferences in Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery. It brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, making it a key venue to discuss high-impact methods, applications, and emerging research directions at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Process Mining.
Workshop Scope
Forum for researchers and practitioners interested in AI-enabled Process Mining.
Process-aware information systems generate event data about activities, resources, timestamps, and costs. Process Mining has emerged to extract insights from these logs, while AI and Machine Learning are increasingly shaping predictive monitoring, model discovery, conformance checking, and decision support.
AI4PM 2026 brings together advances and applications across domains such as healthcare, finance, maintenance, and tourism, combining paper presentations with discussion and invited talks.
