Abstract: Various methods and processes, apparatuses/systems, and media for automatically generating on-demand sequence of actions that integrate different frequently used computer implemented tools are disclosed. A processor causes an application to receive input data from a user via a communication interface, wherein the input data includes action model, initial state, and goals set by the user; dynamically creates the sequence of actions corresponding to the goals from the initial state by using an artificial intelligence planner included within the one or more computer implemented tools, each computer implemented tool being configured to output data different from other computer implemented tool; executes the sequence of actions and checks for successful execution; recomputes the sequence of actions when a failure of successful execution is detected; and transmits the recomputed sequence of actions to a display device utilized by the user.

Abstract: Various methods and processes, apparatuses/systems, and media for automated structure retrieval of complex standard operating procedures (SOPs) are disclosed. A processor encodes the SOP as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to keep track of the dependencies between SOP tasks or steps and retain the sequential aspect of the SOP execution. To be able to support long SOPs, the processor implements a multi-phase approach where the processor first performs a “segmentation” step to break the SOP into task segments which are then transformed into a DAG by calling a structure generation module. The segmentation is utilized recursively to attain a fined-grain decomposition of the SOP to facilitate effective DAG generation.
