  • 基于大模型将非结构化流程文本转为带依赖关系的决策树
  • 在多领域流程上验证了结构化表示的准确性和完整性
  • 适合需要优化流程管理的非技术用户或企业流程自动化场景

本文针对标准操作流程(SOP)普遍存在的语言、格式和执行不一致问题,提出SOP Structuring(SOPStruct)方法,利用大语言模型(LLM)将SOP转化为基于决策树的结构化表示。该方法生成跨领域的标准化流程图,有效捕捉任务依赖关系并保证顺序完整性,降低认知负担,提升理解效率。通过构建逻辑图结构,支持回溯与错误修正,实现流程可追溯性。研究采用结合确定性方法与规划领域定义语言(PDDL)的评估框架验证图结构正确性,并使用另一大模型进行非确定性评估以确保内容完整性。在不同领域和复杂度的SOP数据集上进行了实证验证,结果表明该方法具有强鲁棒性。尽管当前多数组织尚未具备自动化条件,本研究展示了大模型在流程建模中的变革潜力,为未来流程自动化优化提供新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this paper, we address the challenges of managing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which often suffer from inconsistencies in language, format, and execution, leading to operational inefficiencies. Traditional process modeling demands significant manual effort, domain expertise, and familiarity with complex languages like Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), creating barriers for non-techincal users. We introduce SOP Structuring (SOPStruct), a novel approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to transform SOPs into decision-tree-based structured representations. SOPStruct produces a standardized representation of SOPs across different domains, reduces cognitive load, and improves user comprehension by effectively capturing task dependencies and ensuring sequential integrity. Our approach enables leveraging the structured information to automate workflows as well as empower the human users. By organizing procedures into logical graphs, SOPStruct facilitates backtracking and error correction, offering a scalable solution for process optimization. We employ a novel evaluation framework, combining deterministic methods with the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) to verify graph soundness, and non-deterministic assessment by an LLM to ensure completeness. We empirically validate the robustness of our LLM-based structured SOP representation methodology across SOPs from different domains and varying levels of complexity. Despite the current lack of automation readiness in many organizations, our research highlights the transformative potential of LLMs to streamline process modeling, paving the way for future advancements in automated procedure optimization.
