Representing action structure through Semantic Roles of physiotherapy instructions

Semantic Role Labels can be helpful in deriving action constructs for representing virtual actions from text. Action constructs are structure through which the virtual action from text can be generated easily. The proposed system aims to derive the action structure present in written instructions. This proposed framework describes two aspects of action representation from text; semantic annotation of instructions and generating the logical action structure thereof. A small corpus of physiotherapy instructions, containing nearly 300 instructions, has been formed for this system. The annotation scheme along with representation of action constructs has been explained with some of the physiotherapy instructions from the corpora.
