Abstract: The technology described herein generates automated workflows from trouble shooting guides. The automated workflow generation process described herein starts with existing TSGs as the input. A first step in the process may be identifying the computer commands in the TSG. In one aspect, the commands are identified using a sequence-to-sequence model. Once a command is identified as a command, the command is associated with an application of origin. In aspects, a second model is used to identify the application associated with the command. The second model may be a metric-based meta-learning approach to associate a command with an application. Once the commands are identified and associated with an application, they may be parsed or extracted using a regular expression, which is a special text string describing a search pattern. The structure of the natural text is then parsed to build an executable decision tree and merged with the parsed commands.
