Time Series-Based Segmentation of Noisy User Interaction Logs for Robotic Process Automation
摘要
Robotic Process Mining (RPM) automates routine discovery from UI logs for Robotic Process Automation (RPA), yet current approaches assume structured, low-noise task traces, requiring prior domain knowledge to define automatable routines. This constraint limits flexibility and applicability in real-world scenarios, as users must manually identify and record relevant tasks. We propose an approach that enables long-term user recordings without predefined routine boundaries, capturing all user interactions as they naturally occur while still identifying high-similarity, high-frequency routines suitable for RPA automation. By leveraging word2vec encoding and time-series motif discovery, our method segments task traces without prior knowledge, making the early phase of RPM more adaptive. This enhances the extraction of meaningful routines from noisy, unstructured user actions, improving automation potential in complex and evolving environments.
