Abstract

A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for analyzing an instructional video. Video data of an instructional video is analyzed to form multiple units of work. Each unit of work is a respective grouping of video frames of the instructional video based on a respective logical combination of activities associated therewith. Each unit of work is analyzed to produce a respective action graph of activities included in the unit of work, the respective action graph indicating interdependencies among the activities included therein. Interdependencies among activities across the units of work are determined to form a critical path graph. A received query is processed to provide troubleshooting assistance with respect to the instructional video based on the units of work, the action graphs, the critical path graph, and a knowledge base including information related to a subject matter of the instructional video.
