Ebi - a stochastic process mining tool

Ebi is a stochastic process mining software suite, maintained by the BPM group of RWTH University, Aachen, Germany. It contains several algorithms and techniques that perform analyses on event logs and process models.
Ebi can be used as a command-line utility, in ProM, or as a Rust library.

Ebi as a command-line interface tool

Download

Ready-to-use up-to-date binaries are available for Windows and Linux.

Ebi runs on Mac too; please see the manual on how to compile it in 5 easy steps.

Usage

Installation is not necessary: simply call the executable from a command line. Ebi does not use network access.
In Linux, you may need to give the executable execution permission.

An overview of the functions of Ebi and more information on its algorithms can be found in the manual.
Alternatively, you can execute Ebi with `--help' for an overview of commands.

Ebi as a Python library

Ebi is available as a Python library, closely integrated with PM4PY. To install the Ebi Python library, install it using Pip:

	pip install ebi-pm

Then, one can use it as follows:

	import pm4py
        import ebi-pm

        # Load a log using PM4Py
        log = pm4py.read_xes("myLog.xes", return_legacy_log_object=True)
        # Load a model as a string
        with open('mymodel.slpn', 'r') as file:
            model = file.read()
        # Call the Ebi function
        result = ebi.conformance_earth_movers_sample(
            log,
            model,
            1000
        )
        print(result)
        			

An overview of the functions of Ebi available to Python and more information on its algorithms can be found in the manual.

Ebi in ProM

Ebi is also available in ProM. In the ProM Package Manager, install Ebi. Then, several Ebi commands can be used like any other ProM plug-in. As Ebi is extremely flexible in its inputs and outputs, please ensure you choose the correct input and output plug-in (there are many).

The manual contains an overview of Ebi commands that are available in ProM.

Ebi as a Rust library

Ebi is also available as a Rust library. More information can be found on crates.io.
