Biography

Eric Ringger is a Computer Scientist innovating in the fields of Machine Translation, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. The through-line of my research and applied science work has been to empower and augment people -- customers, partners, scholars -- with great automation built on NLP, ML, and AI. The other dominant focus of my career is mentoring and growing people in their learning and impact. I am passionate about computer science and devoted to helping people realize their amazing potential.

 

My current focus is on machine translation, especially for low-resource languages.  Together with student and faculty collaborators in the BYU Matrix Lab, we are working to solve translation of text, speech, and ASL.  Despite amazing recent progress on machine translation, we have much work to do and invite interested students, collaborators, and donors to help us succeed in this work.


I have contributed to progress in Personalized search and recommendations, User intent understanding, Controlled randomized experimentation, Customer-focused product analytics, and applications of Large Language Models as an applied scientist at Zillow Group, Search Ranking as a research scientist at Facebook, and Natural Language Processing, Machine Translation, and Text Mining as a research scientist at Microsoft Research, and as a Ph.D. student at the University of Rochester.
