Context Window Vector Set Notation ( ${\mathbf{v}_{i-n_c+1}, ..., \mathbf{v}_i}$ )

The notation ${\mathbf{v}_{i-n_c+1}, ..., \mathbf{v}_i}$ represents a set of vectors that form a context window. In a sequence of vectors, this set includes the vector at the current position $i$ along with the preceding vectors up to a certain window size, denoted by $n_c$ . The window starts at the index $i-n_c+1$ and ends at the index $i$ . This notation is fundamental for models that consider local context to make predictions.
