Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulia Bonn is a computational lexical semanticist and sculptor-turned-researcher with 15+ years at CU Boulder developing UMR, AMR, PropBank, and VerbNet resources and annotation frameworks. Currently a PhD candidate in Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Neuroscience, she specializes in multimodal spatial reasoning, gesture-inclusive meaning representations, and accommodating polysynthetic and agglutinating languages like Arapaho. Her work blends fine-art sensibilities about viewpoint and visuospatial cognition with rigorous ontology, lexicon development, and annotation design, including AMR-UMR conversion and Spatial AMR. Notably, she is building a PropBank Constructicon that integrates morphological complexity and gesture into deeper semantic rolesets, and she experiments with probing LLMs as annotators. Based in Longmont, Colorado, she brings an uncommon creative-to-computational career trajectory that informs practical solutions for complex, multilingual semantic annotation.
