Character-enriched word2vec

Closed weights Facebook AI Research July 2016

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

Answers

Character-enriched word2vec — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run Character-enriched word2vec?

None. Character-enriched word2vec 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.

02

Is Character-enriched word2vec open source?

The licensing for Character-enriched word2vec was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

03

How many parameters does Character-enriched word2vec have?

No parameter count has been published for Character-enriched word2vec, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created Character-enriched word2vec?

Character-enriched word2vec was published by Facebook AI Research, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

05

When was Character-enriched word2vec released?

Character-enriched word2vec was published in July 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.

06

What is Character-enriched word2vec used for?

Character-enriched word2vec 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.

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.
