Natural language processing. E.g. most parsers and generators with a
wide-coverage grammar will need a lot of memory, since ambiguity of
sentences increases dramatically with sentence length.
Or to give a specific example: we have recently extended some
techniques for error mining in parsing results. In natural language
parsing, a possible parsing failure is the inability to find a parse
that spans a whole sentence (as opposed to e.g. an incorrect parse).
Error mining tries to find the most probable causes (words or phrases)
for the such parsing failures. If iterative error mining methods are
applied to parsing results of large corpera (or domain-specific corpera
where a relatively large number of sentences fail to parse), it's easy
to break the 4GB barrier.
