1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a computing device, a query about at least one concept, including one or more associated steps, and at least one natural language document associated with the at least one concept;

    accessing, by the computing device, a plurality of models created based on information in a labeled database;

    decoding, by the computing device, information in the at least one natural language document using the plurality of models; and

    responsive to the decoding, generating, by the computing device, a program having computer executable code corresponding to the one or more steps associated with the at least one concept,wherein;

    (a) the plurality of models include;

    a concept model for determining a specific location in the at least one natural language document that includes the at least one concept;

    a template model for determining at least one of steps associated with the at least one concept and a sub-concept associated with the at least one concept;

    a description model for generating attributes and determining whether a first step depends on another step for execution; and

    a sequencing model for determining a sequence of the steps associated with the at least one concept;

    (b) the decoding comprises;

    determining a location of the at least one concept in the at least one natural language document, a location of a sub-concept associated with the at least one concept, and a location of steps associated with at least one of the at least one concept and the sub-concept; and

    decoding the at least one concept included in the query using the concept model, the template model, the description model, and the sequencing model.
