Hello all, 

 

I've been working with R & Fridolin Wild's lsa package a bit over the
past few months, but I'm still pretty much a novice. I have a lot of
files that I want to use to create a semantic space. When I begin to run
the initial textmatrix( ), it runs for about 3-4 hours and eventually
gives me an error. It's always "ERROR: cannot allocate vector size of
xxx Kb". I imagine this might be my computer running out of memory, but
I'm sure. So I thought I would send this to community at large for any
help/thoughts.

 

I search the archives and didn't really find anything that specifically
speaks to my situation. So I guess I have s few questions. First, is
this actually an issue with the machine running out of memory? If not,
what might be the cause for the error? If so, is there a way to minimize
the amount of memory used by the vector data structures (e.g., Berkeley
DB)?

 

Thanks,
