Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides a method for generating and ranking potential barriers that prevent completion of a structured process. The method comprises receiving a textual description of the structured process, receiving one or more templates relating to the structured process, and identifying a set of user actions required to complete the structured process based on the textual description. The method further comprises expanding the set of user actions based on general knowledge to include one or more additional actions, and updating the one or more templates based on the expanded set of user actions. The method further comprises generating, using at least one generative language model, a set of potential barriers that prevent completion of the structured process based on the one or more updated templates.
