**UPDATE at the end**

Hey and thanks for this cool library 🙂

I started with DL4J last week and managed to set up a ParagraphVector text classifier. However often the execution just stops during the learning process. Sometimes I get the following error message:

```
#

```

I have managed to trigger the error at will with the following input:

_“ADHOC ADC Therapeutics veranstaltet am 6. Mai 2021 eine Telefonkonferenz über die Ergebnisse des 1. Quartals 2021: ADC Therapeutics veranstaltet am 6.

**The hs\_err log is showing the folliwing stack trace for that occurence:**

```

I do not understand what in my input string causes the classifier to fail. I would like to understand the pattern/reason, so I can exclude all strings producing these crashes. Help here would be much appreciated.

**UPDATE**

I have managed to get fix that particular instance of the error and reduced the error frequency a lot. I am using multiple models to predict and I noticed the error mostly occurred for one particular model. So I removed it from the model set and that made things a lot better. It seems at least partially the issue was a corrupt model.

However, I am getting these issues also during training. The probability increases running multiple instances of traning/prediction at the same time.

Have you tried the latest Snapshots? If it still does crash with them, can you please create a self-contained reproducer project (ideally one that crashes as often as possible :), so we can figure out what the reason for that crash is.
