让AI通过对话帮助专家一步步重设计流程模型,提升可解释性与准确性。

Conversational Process Model Redesign

  • 基于文献识别变更模式,分步引导AI理解用户需求
  • 对比实验表明,清晰描述能显著提升模型处理效果
  • 推荐混合策略:自动应用有效模式,对模糊请求追问澄清

随着大语言模型(LLMs)的成功,人工智能增强型业务流程管理系统变得可行。其关键能力之一是对话式可操作性,使人类能通过自然语言与模型交互,完成流程建模与重设计等生命周期任务。然而,现有研究多聚焦单次提示执行,缺乏对人机持续交互的探索。本文提出对话式流程模型重设计(CPMR)方法,接收用户输入的流程模型和自然语言重设计请求,通过三步流程:(a) 从文献中提取流程变更模式;(b) 将请求重述为与模式匹配的表达方式;(c) 按照模式含义修改流程模型。该方法实现可解释、可复现的变更。为验证可行性,我们进行了广泛评估,并与无模式基线对比。结果表明,部分模式对LLM和用户均难以理解,清晰的变更描述至关重要。因此建议采用混合策略:识别所有使用模式,对正确生效的直接应用,对失效的生成追问以优化用户输入。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the recent success of large language models (LLMs), the idea of AI-augmented Business Process Management systems is becoming more feasible. One of their essential characteristics is the ability to be conversationally actionable, allowing humans to interact with the LLM effectively to perform crucial process life cycle tasks such as process model design and redesign. However, most current research focuses on single-prompt execution and evaluation of results, rather than on continuous interaction between the user and the LLM. In this work, we aim to explore the feasibility of using LLMs to empower domain experts in the creation and redesign of process models in an iterative and effective way. The proposed conversational process model redesign (CPMR) approach receives as input a process model and a redesign request by the user in natural language. Instead of just letting the LLM make changes, the LLM is employed to (a) identify process change patterns from literature, (b) re-phrase the change request to be aligned with an expected wording for the identified pattern (i.e., the meaning), and then to (c) apply the meaning of the change to the process model. This multi-step approach allows for explainable and reproducible changes. In order to ensure the feasibility of the CPMR approach, and to find out how well the patterns from literature can be handled by the LLM, we perform an extensive evaluation, also in comparison to a baseline approach without change patterns. The results show that some patterns are hard to understand by LLMs and by users and that clear change descriptions by users are essential. Overall, we recommend a hybrid approach that identifies all used change patterns and then directly applies those patterns that work correctly and for the others derives follow-up questions in order to improve user input.
