Maximilian Matyash Master’s Student and Professors Prof. Avigdor Gal Win Best Paper Award at ICPM 2025


Maximilian Matyash, A Master student of Data Science in the Faculty of Data & Decision Sciences at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, together with Prof. Avigdor Gal (Technion) and Prof. Arik Senderovich (York university, Canada), won the best paper award for their work “DDTR: Diffusion Denoising Trace Recovery” at the International Conference on Process Mining (ICPM’2025), which took place in Montevideo, Uruguay (October 2025).

The paper uses a diffusion framework, typically supporting image reconstruction, to solve a problem of trace recovery, transforming a log of activities, where the exact activity is known only in stochastic terms, into a clear deterministic log that accurately report on real-world eventualities.
