Context

The surrounding information that gives meaning to a piece of text or data in AI models.

Description

In AI and particularly in natural language processing, context refers to the information surrounding a piece of text that helps to determine its meaning. Context is crucial for understanding ambiguity, resolving references, and generating coherent responses. AI models, especially large language models, rely on context to interpret input accurately and produce relevant output. The ability to maintain and utilize context over long ranges of text is a key feature of advanced language models.
