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

Multi-task Cascaded CNN was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), in the country recorded as China, during August 2016. The category the publisher falls under is academia,Academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as performing the task of face detection.

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

Answers

Multi-task Cascaded CNN — common questions

01

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— when was it released?

It was published in August 2016. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

02

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Vision, and is recorded as handling the task of face detection. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

03

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— what GPU do I need to run it?

None. This 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.

04

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— is it open source?

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

05

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— how many parameters does it have?

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

06

Multi-task Cascaded CNN— who created it?

It was published by Chinese Academy of Sciences,Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), based in China, an organisation categorised as academia,Academia.

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.
