Abstract

A historical log of a plurality of a type of Internet-connected appliances is collected. a dynamic probabilistic graphical model of the time-lined interactions between subsystems and components of the appliances is generated. The probabilistic graphical model is trained by applying machine learning techniques and applying expert knowledge. A natural language processing (NLP) conversational user interface for diagnostic queries regarding operational errors is provided, and responsive to receive a diagnostic query in a conversational format from a user regarding a particular type, make, and model of an appliance of the plurality of the type of Internet-connected appliances, a diagnostic response is provided to the user interface using the natural language processing conversational format.
