Hi Nick,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Now my solution is to add a capital letter in front of the text where the first letter is not a capital letter.

I wonder why such sentences is OK in the online demo. Is there any other solutions?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Yuhang,

Thanks very much for the bug report.  It turns out the problem was
with a regular _expression_ in LBJ's sentence splitter, which seemingly
takes exponentially more time as the first capital letter of the text
gets further from the start of the text.  (I had no idea such behavior
was possible!)  Anyway, this bug will be fixed when the next version
of LBJ is released, which should be soon.  Stay tuned to this mailing
list for an announcement when it is released.  At that time, you'll
need to download both LBJ and the coref package again.

Thanks,
 - Nick
