Size of training data

[Svetoslav Marinov]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what is the max size (if such exists) for training a NER model? I 
have a corpus of 2 600 000 sentences annotated with just one category, 310M in 
size. However, the training never finishes – 8G memory resulted in java out of 
memory exception, and when I increased it to 16G it just died with no error 
message.

Any help about this would be highly appreciated.
