Abstract

A system and method for proposing candidate solutions for updating a knowledge base are disclosed. In the method, knowledge base solutions in a natural language are each processed to generate a first action sequence of atomic steps, each including a verb and an object including a noun which is in a syntactic dependency with the respective verb. A recorded solution, expressed in a natural language, is received which includes actions performed on a device in the device class. The recorded solution is processed to generate a second action sequence of atomic steps, as for the first action sequence. The second action sequence is compared with the first action sequences to determine whether the recorded solution corresponds to one of the knowledge base solutions. Based on the comparison, provision is made for proposing an update to the knowledge base, based on the recorded solution.
