Based on the details in the paper, here is the calculation for the number of parameters in the LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell model: The model has 2 LSTM layers, each with 1500 hidden units. It uses the "+cell" method to incorporate sememes, which introduces an additional sememe-LSTM cell in each LSTM unit. For each original 1500 unit LSTM layer: Input size is 300 (embedding dimension) Hidden size is 1500 4 weight matrices of size 300 x 1500 = 450,000 params each 4 recurrent weight matrices of size…

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell was published by Tsinghua University,Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications,Huawei Noah's Ark Lab, in China, in October 2019. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia,Industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

How it was trained

Training it took roughly 2.3 × 10¹⁶ FLOP of computation — a measure of what producing the model cost, not of how fast it answers.

Around 2,000,000 tokens went into training it.

Answers

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell — common questions

01

How much compute was used to train LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell?

Around 2.3 × 10¹⁶ FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

02

What GPU do I need to run LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell?

None. LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

03

Is LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell open source?

No. LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

04

How many parameters does LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell have?

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell has 48M parameters. Based on the details in the paper, here is the calculation for the number of parameters in the LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell model: The model has 2 LSTM layers, each with 1500 hidden units. It uses the "+cell" method to incorporate sememes, which introduces an additional sememe-LSTM cell in each LSTM unit. For each original 1500 unit LSTM layer: Input size is 300 (embedding dimension) Hidden size is 1500 4 weight matrices of size 300 x 1500 = 450,000 params each 4 recurrent weight matrices of size 1500 x 1500 = 2,250,000 params each 4 bias vectors of size 1500 = 6,000 params each Total = 450,000 x 4 + 2,250,000 x 4 + 6,000 x 4 = 12,006,000 For each sememe-LSTM cell: Input size is 2000 (number of sememes) Hidden size is 1500 Same weight and bias computations as above Total = 12,006,000 Since there are 2 LSTM layers each with a sememe-LSTM cell: Total params = 2 * (12,006,000 + 12,006,000) Total = 48,024,000 Therefore, the total number of parameters for the LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell model is approximately 48 million. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

05

Who created LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell?

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell was published by Tsinghua University,Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications,Huawei Noah's Ark Lab, based in China, categorised as academia,Academia,Industry.

06

When was LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell released?

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell was published in October 2019. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

07

What is LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell used for?

LSTM(large)+Sememe+cell works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
