    The given ``indices`` of size ``(set_size, subset_size)`` specifies subsets of the ``target``

    Parameters
    ----------
    target : ``torch.Tensor``, required.
        A Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, embedding_size).
    indices : ``torch.LongTensor``, required.
        A LongTensor of shape (set_size, subset_size). All indices must be < sequence_length
