Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristin Wright-Bettner is a computational linguist and senior research professional with a decade of experience building high-quality, domain-specific datasets for machine learning, currently leading annotation projects at the University of Colorado Boulder. She combines deep expertise in semantic representations (AMR, PropBank, coreference, temporal/causal/spatial relations) with hands-on project management—training annotators, authoring guidelines, and bridging domain experts with engineers. Kristin is skilled at adapting schemas to genre-specific linguistic phenomena and has extensive experience with clinical data as well as education, youth dialogue, geoscience, forums, and news. She also contributes to annotation tool development, improving usability to boost data quality and reduce costs, and brings practical scripting instincts (basic Python, command line, GitHub) for debugging pipelines. Known for meticulous problem-solving and clear communication, she brings an uncommon ingredient to projects: genuine joy that improves team morale and annotation consistency.
