Abstract
Predicting business process behaviour is an important aspect of business process management. Motivated
by research in natural language processing, this paper describes an application of deep learning with recur-
rent neural networks to the problem of predicting the next event in a business process. This is both a novel
method in process prediction, which has largely relied on explicit process models, and also a novel applica-
tion of deep learning methods. The approach is evaluated on two real datasets and our results surpass the
state-of-the-art in prediction precision.
