window size

[Jundo26]

why max window size == 500ms ？ Is it because the duration of a word is about 500ms?

I think max_window_size can be a misleading name. It is prefixed with max as samples can possibly have variable length (shorter than the max_window_size)

The window is the single unit of a sample that is preprocessed together and fed into the model The following code should be self-explanatory https://github.com/castorini/howl/blob/55f8b92081dc5c7b98ef3a2a52de15966be663dc/howl/model/inference.py#L169-L193
