Module encoder 

Encoder abstraction for GLiNER and span matching models.

Design

GLiNER separates the encoder (BERT/RoBERTa/ModernBERT) from the span matching head. This module provides abstractions for:

1. Encoder: Transforms text to embeddings
2. SpanMatcher: Takes embeddings + entity type embeddings and computes similarity

Available Encoders

Model	Context	Notes
BERT	512	Classic, widely supported
RoBERTa	512	Similar interface, different pretraining
DeBERTa	512	Alternative attention formulation
ModernBERT	8192	Long-context encoder
