To say that Sebastiaan van Zelst, head of process mining group at Fraunhofer FIT research institute, knows Python quite well would be an understantement. He is an author of the most comprehensive and popular Python library for process mining - PM4Py. And he did not stop there! He also helps develop a process mining tool Cortado, spearheads the process mining research and leads a Center for process inteligence!

In this episode of A Side Of Data, I interview Sebastiaan van Zelst about his experience of building a pm4py python library for process mining.The show timeline:1:30 How did pm4py start? The reasons behind5:30 Why do you need a new library? Why python?8:00 How big is the library now? What is the current progress12:00 Categorizing and comparing process mining tools: programming libraries, strand-alone academic, commercial (Apromore, Prom, pm4py, Celonis, Fluxicon Disco, Minit, Process Gold, etc.)17:30 Problems with commercial tools20:30 How challenging was to build the pm4py. How easy is it to use the library with the coding workflow on python.25:40 Projects built on top of the pm4py29:00 What is available in the library now32:00 How to start with pm4py and with process mining34:20 About the PM4Knime project. 37:00 extra: What is the interactive process discovery, how pm4py supports it.Additional info:The library: http://pm4py.org The paper on incremental discovery: https://sebastiaanvanzelst.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Incremental_Discovery_of_Hierarchical_Process_Models__RCIS_1.pdfInterviewee page: https://sebastiaanvanzelst.com/?page_id=62 Mentioned telegram bot: https://github.com/delas/pmbotFind A SIDE OF DATA on twitter: https://twitter.com/ASideOFDataAnd on the web: asideofdata.comSEND us an email with suggestions: asideofdata@protonmail.comListen to more A Side Of Data: Building a process mining startup with Raffaele Conforti: https://soundcloud.com/asideofdata/building-a-process-mining-startup-with-raffaele-confortiNew decade for process mining with Wil van der Aalst: https://soundcloud.com/asideofdata/new-decade-for-process-mining-with-wil-van-der-aalst
