Markéta Lopatková , Associate Professor at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University), is a leading Czech computational linguist specializing in dependency syntax, valency theory, and formal language modeling. Her work focuses on the Prague Dependency Treebank and VALLEX valency lexicon, incorporating tectogrammatical representations and dependency analysis by reduction. She has coordinated major EU projects like LCT and CLARA, and served on editorial/review boards for journals and conferences. Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics (2001), Charles University M.Sc. in Mathematics (1992), Charles University Research spans Czech sentence ambiguity, non-projectivity, light verb constructions, and reflexive/reciprocal modeling using restarting automata. Her 15 most recent articles address topics like Uniform Meaning Representation conversion, cross-lingual dependency analysis, and reflexive construction detection in Czech. As principal investigator for projects such as VALLEX (2018-2020) and Delving Deeper (2012-2015), she advanced valency lexicon methodologies and linguistic theory feedback loops for NLP systems. Awards include Charles University's Silver Medal (2021), Monographs of Distinction (2016), and Slovník roku 3rd Place (2009). She has supervised 5 PhD students and 6 Master’s students, contributing to European Masters programs (LCT) and international conference committees (ACL, COLING, EURALEX).
