Johan Bos

Johan Bos is a Professor of Computational Semantics at the University of Groningen. His research focuses on formal semantics, natural language processing, and semantic parsing, with contributions to tools like Boxer and the C&C parser. He leads the Groningen Meaning Bank project, creating multilingual semantic annotations. His work bridges computational linguistics and AI, emphasizing structured meaning representations.

Key contributions include foundational textbooks such as Representation and Inference for Natural Language and Learn Prolog Now!. His research spans semantic analysis, discourse representation theory, and cross-lingual meaning parsing. Collaborations include projects on annotated corpora and neural semantic parsing advancements.

Publications address challenges in semantic parsing, discourse structures, and interdisciplinary applications like tombstone inscription analysis. He actively contributes to computational semantics conferences and workshops, driving semantic tagging and interlingual meaning representation initiatives.
