Recent attempts at behaviour understanding through language grounding have shown that it is possible to automatically generate planning models from instructional texts. One drawback of these approaches is that they either do not make use of the semantic structure behind the model elements identified in the text, or they manually incorporate a collection of concepts with semantic relationships between them. To use such models for behaviour understanding, however, the system should also have knowledge of the semantic structure and context behind the planning operators. To address this problem, we propose an approach that automatically generates planning operators from textual instructions. The approach is able to identify various hierarchical, spatial, directional, and causal relations between the model elements. This allows incorporating context knowledge beyond the actions being executed. We evaluated the approach in terms of correctness of the identified elements, model search complexity, model coverage, and similarity to handcrafted models. The results showed that the approach is able to generate models that explain actual tasks executions and the models are comparable to handcrafted models.
