An example method comprises receiving historical information of episodes, constructing event sets from the historical information, categorizing each event with general labels and synthetic labels, learning an event metric on the events by using the general and synthetic labels to perform dimensionality reduction to associate a vector with each event and to determine an angle between every two vectors, determining an event set metric using distances between each pair of event sets, deriving a sequence metric on the episodes, the sequence metric obtaining a preferred match between two episodes, deriving a subsequence metric on the episodes, the subsequence metric is a function of the event set metric on subsequences of each episode, grouping episodes into subgroups based on distances, for at least one subgroup, generating a consensus sequence by finding a preferred sequence of events, and the episodes of the subgroup, and generating a report indicating the consensus sequence.
