Mnemonic Reader

Closed weights Fudan University,Microsoft Research May 2017

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.

How it is classified

Labels the source dataset applies when tracking notable models, and how confident it is in the entry.

Why it is tracked
SOTA improvement

from the abstract " Extensive experiments on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results. Meanwhile, our model outperforms previous systems by over 6% in terms of both Exact Match and F1 metrics on two adversarial SQuAD datasets. "

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Mnemonic Reader was published by Fudan University,Microsoft Research, in China, in May 2017. It comes out of academia,Industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing question answering.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

What went into building it

The training set ran to roughly 215,570 tokens.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.

Answers

Mnemonic Reader — common questions

01

What is Mnemonic Reader used for?

Mnemonic Reader works in Language, and is recorded as handling question answering. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

02

What GPU do I need to run Mnemonic Reader?

None. Mnemonic Reader 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 Mnemonic Reader open source?

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

04

How many parameters does Mnemonic Reader have?

No parameter count has been published for Mnemonic Reader, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

05

Who created Mnemonic Reader?

Mnemonic Reader was published by Fudan University,Microsoft Research, based in China, categorised as academia,Industry.

06

When was Mnemonic Reader released?

Mnemonic Reader was published in May 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.

The other direction

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.
