… where c1, and c2 are the terms the system is trying to find the similarity between.
I am guessing that this clause is used following an equation or a clause containing c1 and c2. [If this is so, please edit your question to make this clear]. I have indicated that the equation or clause is missing in the usual way, using three dots: this is called an ellipsis symbol.
In your clause, between is a preposition. If you end a sentence with a preposition, it’s called a dangling preposition. Some people don’t like dangling prepositions and write very complicated sentences to avoid them. But if the sentence is more understandable that way, let that preposition dangle.
In this case, there is a very simple way of avoiding the dangling preposition. Just re-arrange the clause like this:
… where the system is trying to find the similarity between [the terms] c1 and c2.
