MemoryError

Open ales004 opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, probably it is a stupid question but I am new to the python and kaggle world... I downloaded the repository and the data from Kaggle but when I am running python train.py the result is a MemoryError. This happens in pandas package as it writes only Reading the training data. I am on a Ubuntu Linux environment.

Thank you

note that the training dataset is BIG: it will use more than 8 GB of RAM to read the training set. In fact the quoted runtime (< 5 min) on README is used mostly on swapping virtual memory. So basically, you want to check to make sure you have enough RAM + virtual memory for reading the dataset (8GB + 8GB worked for me).
