Martha (Stone) Palmer is an American computer scientist. She is best known for her work on verb semantics, [1] and for the creation of ontological resources such as PropBank [2] and VerbNet. [3]
Palmer received a Master of Arts in Computer Science from University of Texas at Austin in 1976, advised by Robert Simmons. [4]
She received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1985. Her thesis was titled "Driving semantics for a limited domain", and was advised by Alan Bundy. [5]
Palmer is currently a professor of computer science and linguistics at the University of Colorado Boulder. [6] [7] She was previously on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. [8]
Palmer served as president of the Association for Computational Linguistics in 2005 [9] and was named an ACL Fellow in 2014 "for significant contributions to computational semantics and the development of semantic corpora". [10]
In 2017, she was awarded the Helen & Hubert Croft Professorship by the University of Colorado. [11] In the same year, the university named her a "Professor of Distinction", a title reserved for professors who have received international recognition for their research. [12] She was elected an AAAI Fellow in 2020 "for significant contributions to natural language processing and knowledge representation, including widely-used corpora of annotated structures in several languages". [13] In 2023, she was awarded the ACL Lifetime achievement award, the highest distinction by the Association for Computational Linguistics, for her lifetime work on verb semantics.
