MATLAB: What do all these errors mean and is there anything that I can do to prevent/fix this

javaMATLABout of memory

While working in Matlab and running various code I have been getting errors at random times. The errors sometimes appear even while I am working in an editor and have not run any code recently. The errors do not seem to interfere with functionality most of the time but I'm not sure what they mean or if they are indicitive or a larger underlying problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This is an example of the errors I have been receiving
