生成式人工智能,特别是大语言模型(LLMs),正推动业务流程建模任务的自动化或辅助化发展。已有多种方法尝试将自然语言描述转化为BPMN等流程模型。然而,这些方法在组织环境中支持复杂流程建模的有效性尚不明确。本文系统综述了基于AI的文本转流程模型方法,重点关注LLMs的作用。通过结构化文献检索与分析,梳理了现有方法分类,探讨了LLMs在文本到模型流水线中的集成方式,并评估了模型评价实践。结果表明,方法正从规则驱动和传统NLP转向依赖提示工程、中间表示和迭代优化的LLM架构。尽管显著提升了自动生成能力,但文献仍暴露语义正确性不足、评估碎片化、可复现性差及真实场景验证有限等问题。据此,本文识别关键研究空白,提出未来方向:通过检索增强生成(RAG)融入上下文知识、构建交互式建模架构,以及建立更全面标准化的评估框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), have stimulated growing interest in automating or assisting Business Process Modeling tasks using natural language. Several approaches have been proposed to transform textual process descriptions into BPMN and related workflow models. However, the extent to which these approaches effectively support complex process modeling in organizational settings remains unclear. This article presents a literature review of AI-driven methods for transforming natural language into BPMN process models, with a particular focus on the role of LLMs. Following a structured review strategy, relevant studies were identified and analyzed to classify existing approaches, examine how LLMs are integrated into text-to-model pipelines, and investigate the evaluation practices used to assess generated models. The analysis reveals a clear shift from rule-based and traditional NLP pipelines toward LLM-based architectures that rely on prompt engineering, intermediate representations, and iterative refinement mechanisms. While these approaches significantly expand the capabilities of automated process model generation, the literature also exposes persistent challenges related to semantic correctness, evaluation fragmentation, reproducibility, and limited validation in real-world organizational contexts. Based on these findings, this review identifies key research gaps and discusses promising directions for future research, including the integration of contextual knowledge through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), its integration with LLMs, the development of interactive modeling architectures, and the need for more comprehensive and standardized evaluation frameworks.
