    Abstract: A user input in a source language is received. A set of contextual data is received. The user input is encoded into a user input feature vector. The set of contextual data is encoded into a context feature vector. The user input feature vector and the context feature vector are used to generate a fusion vector. An adaptive neural network is trained to identify a second context feature vector, based on the fusion vector. A second user input in the source language is received for translation into a target language. The adaptive neural network is used to determine, based on the second context feature vector, a second user input feature vector. The second user input feature vector is decoded, based on the source language and the target language, into a target language output. A user is notified of the target language output.
