No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

Background

SENet (ImageNet) was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,University of Oxford, in China, in September 2017. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification.

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

How it was trained

It was trained on about 1,280,000 tokens of text.

Its inclusion criterion is highly cited.

Answers

SENet (ImageNet) — common questions

01

How many parameters does SENet (ImageNet) have?

SENet (ImageNet) has 28.1M parameters. Table 16. 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.

02

Who created SENet (ImageNet)?

SENet (ImageNet) was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,University of Oxford, based in China, categorised as academia,Academia.

03

When was SENet (ImageNet) released?

SENet (ImageNet) was published in September 2017. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

04

What is SENet (ImageNet) used for?

SENet (ImageNet) works in Vision, and is recorded as handling image classification. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

05

What GPU do I need to run SENet (ImageNet)?

None. SENet (ImageNet) 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.

06

Is SENet (ImageNet) open source?

The licensing for SENet (ImageNet) was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
