  • Publication number: 20230359949
    Abstract: A recovery assistance device according to an embodiment includes an analysis unit and a learning unit. The analysis unit generates a first procedure plan related to recovery work of a first failure by solving an optimization problem on the basis of first information related to the first failure. The learning unit acquires feedback information related to work procedure adopted for the recovery work of the first failure and generates a learning result reflecting the feedback information with respect to the first procedure plan. In a case where a second failure occurs, the analysis unit further generates a second procedure plan related to recovery work of the second failure using the learning result.
