  Predictive business process monitoring methods exploit logs of completed
cases of a process in order to make predictions about running cases thereof.
Existing methods in this space are tailor-made for specific prediction tasks.
Moreover, their relative accuracy is highly sensitive to the dataset at hand,
thus requiring users to engage in trial-and-error and tuning when applying them
in a specific setting. This paper investigates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
neural networks as an approach to build consistently accurate models for a wide
range of predictive process monitoring tasks. First, we show that LSTMs
outperform existing techniques to predict the next event of a running case and
its timestamp. Next, we show how to use models for predicting the next task in
order to predict the full continuation of a running case. Finally, we apply the
same approach to predict the remaining time, and show that this approach
outperforms existing tailor-made methods.
