Resetting the Contextual AI & Purging or Preserving Memories
Contextual AI suggestions can degrade over time if poor Translation Memory (TM) data is uploaded to your Translation Memories. To help you manage the quality of Contextual AI models, the Lilt platform allows you to do the following:
- Reset a Contextual AI model.
- Purge a Translation Memory.
- Preserve a TranslationMemory.
See the TM Size and Content Guidelines article for guidelines on what TM data is best suited for Lilt.

If you feel the Contextual AI quality for a given Translation Memory has degraded over time, you can Reset the model by following these steps:
- Open the
Memories
tab. - Open the desired Translation Memory by clicking on the Translation Memory name or clicking the
Edit memory
button. - Open the

button to open a popup where you will need to confirm you want to reset the model.
Reset the Contextual AI to perform the following:
- reset the Lilt Translate automatic suggestions to a clean slate
- re-train the Contextual AI model on all confirmed segments in the Translation Memory
Note: when resetting the Contextual AI, your TB and TM entries will remain untouched.
Purging a memory
You can restore your Translation Memory to a clean slate by purging the Translation Memory:
- Open the
Memories
tab. - Open the desired Translation Memory by clicking on the Translation Memory name or clicking the
Edit memory

Preserving Translation Memories by disabling adaptive memory
By default, Translation Memories adapt to both uploaded TMX files and the linguistic activity of translators and reviewers in Lilt Translate. If at any point you need to stop a Translation Memory from adapting any further, you can do so by disabling the Adaptive memory
option within the Translation Memory.
Disabling adaptive memory when creating a new Translation Memory
During the creation of a new Translation Memory, toggle off the option for Adaptive memory
and then continue with creating the Translation Memory.
Disabling adaptive memory on an existing Lilt Memory
- Open the
Memories
tab. - Open the desired Translation Memory by clicking on the Translation Memory name or clicking the
Edit memory
button. - Open the
Settings
page. - Toggle
Translation memory
to the desired setting. This can be enabled/disabled at any time.
