Sounds like a classification problem. You can try to see the steps as features and use classification methods e.g. decision tree to train a model. But it depends on what "reconstruct the steps" and "result" means.

First I'd like to apologize in advanced for the "noobiness" nature of my question... I'd like to get some early guidance into which path I should take to help me solve a problem using machine learning.

The goal would be to use machine learning to "reconstruct the steps" needed to take in order to get to a particular "result". My assumption (perhaps misguided at this point) would be that I could feed the system with a large amount of complete "examples" (steps + result) to be eventually able to feed it a result in order to get a series of steps.

I know my question is broad, to say the least. But I feel that knowing the right type of machine learning concept to apply to such a problem would help me started. Any insights on which category better suits my problem, and on whether my assumptions are flawed?

Any and all comments greatly appreciated.
