Abstract
The system obtains an indication of multiple troubleshooting guides associated with a first issue experienced by a first device and device information describing the first device. The system receives an input including device information describing the second device and an indication of a second issue experienced by the second device, where the second device is different from the first device. Based on the input and the indication of the multiple troubleshooting guides, the system generates a distribution of probabilities associated with the multiple troubleshooting procedures. Based on the distribution of probabilities, the system selects a most likely troubleshooting procedure including a repair step or the testing step associated with the second issue. The system suggests the most likely troubleshooting procedure to perform as a resolution to the second issue experienced by the second device.
