Hello @cbjrobertson,

thank you for your question.  
It seems that you have a similar problem as described here: [Unable to train textcat model using en\_core\_web\_md as a base model](https://support.prodi.gy/t/unable-to-train-textcat-model-using-en-core-web-md-as-a-base-model/5953)  
The solution my colleague Vincent found was to use a spacy-config file as workaround, see: [Unable to train textcat model using en\_core\_web\_md as a base model - #4 by koaning](https://support.prodi.gy/t/unable-to-train-textcat-model-using-en-core-web-md-as-a-base-model/5953/4)  
For your problem, you would have to change the model from `en_core_web_md` to `en_core_web_lg`.

Can you try this out? Maybe this works for you too.
