Core Innovation

This paper introduces a method to adapt pretrained large language models directly to process data without converting event logs into natural language. It uses parameter-efficient fine-tuning to reduce computational costs while improving predictive accuracy. The approach outperforms traditional RNNs and narrative-style methods, especially in multi-task scenarios, with faster convergence and less hyperparameter tuning.
